[BASIC] Army Cryptography Manual

[grinch]

This is a great manual on cryptography. It is intended for US Army recruits that have no knowledge of Cryptography, so it is a great starting point for anyone looking to learn.

They define terms. They discuss primitive ciphers used, like substituting a number for a letter before sending a message, and build from there

This is all the chapters in PDF

Oh, and it's "Cryptography" not 'cryptology'

EDIT: I put all the chapters on the FTPD in a folder
ftp://ftp.ininjas.com:9999/pub/iNinjas.com/PDF/Cryptography/US.Army.Beginning.Cryptography.Guide/

EDIT: As requested, all chapter PDFs are zipped into one file

Also found some other links

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Guide_to_Cryptography
Looks like a decent guide, not as basic as the Army one

http://www.prc68.com/I/M94.shtml
Shows primitive cryptography wheels, and how the cipher gets deciphered by turning dial to letter after "A"
lol primitive. had to say that twice

The PDF is invalid for me.

The PDF is invalid for me.

It's a bunch of PDFs in a tar.gz package. you need to extract them

[A12danrulz]

Im aware of how a tar.gz works. I extract the tar.gz to get a file called pdf. Is that the psf file? Or is it another archive?

[grinch]

Are you on Win32/64? Open it in winrar, and hit Extract

[A12danrulz]

Im on my tab.

[grinch]

Im on my tab.

Oh, im not sure about archive extraction on android. maybe someone else can help there. Inside the tarball is a bunch of PDFs, no path, all in main directory. I just extracted to a folder called Crypt

[A12danrulz]

Hmm weurd

Just extracted on my iPod and got some errors. I changed the extension of te compressed file to PDF and was able to read the first 3 pages

[A3MIRAL]

thanks very much for the links!
I downloaded it and extracted it all set, but I don't have much time to look at them right now

I will whenever I have free time tho!

[grinch]

I stuck this on the FTPD and edited post with the url

EDIT:
I also removed the zip link to fileserve, they removed it due to copyright infringement.
Retards, its a de-classified document, available to ALL under the Freedom of Information Act

I tried wget but got errors and an HTML-lized index file. Then i put it in my browser and it took me to a page with all the PDF's separated. Is there a way to download them all at once becuase I'm on the iPhone?

The original post has link to tar.gz of all chapters as well, would require un-taring
