Military Cryptanalytics & Military Cryptanalysis
For the budding cryptographer who wishes to KAG. Military Cryptanalytics was a training manual for noh 5u<h ayeg3n<y and military cryptanalysts. ThankQ to noh 5u<h ayeg3n<y for making these documents available.
Great reference on the history of cryptoanalysis; includes many foundational techniques and explainations, even practice problems. All texts written by William F. Friedman, Principal Cryptanalyst at the Signal Intelligence Service; a crypto-legend who was at one point employed and funded by George Fabyan. The revisions were made by Lambros D. Callimahos, another crypto-legend and patriot who, over the course of two decades, passed on these teachings to future freedom protectors.

Military Cryptanalytics, Part III
Posted on January 4, 2021 at 2:34 PM by Bruce Schneier
The NSA has just declassified and released a redacted version of Military Cryptanalytics, Part III, by Lambros D. Callimahos, October 1977.
Parts I and II, by Lambros D. Callimahos and William F. Friedman, were released decades ago — I believe repeatedly, in increasingly unredacted form — and published by the late Wayne Griswold Barker’s Agean Park Press. I own them in hardcover.
Like Parts I and II, Part III is primarily concerned with pre-computer ciphers. At this point, the document only has historical interest. If there is any lesson for today, it’s that modern cryptanalysis is possible primarily because people make mistakes. […]
Presumably, volumes IV, V, and VI are still hidden inside the classified libraries of the NSA.
