Hello Aaron,
you might add two more things:

• to the resources: Mystery Twister Crypto Challenge Contest (www.mysterytwisterc3.org)
• to the tools: the CrypTool e-learning programs CT1, CT2, JCT and CTO (www.cryptool.org)

Hi Aaron,

I found this youtube channel which is a helpful resource: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1usFRN4LCMcfIV7UjHNuQg

Could you split cryptanalysis and cryprtography please? serious crypto is not about crypto but cryptanalysis.

Could you mention https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Cryptanalysis-Techniques-Advanced-Breaking/dp/047013593X please? It is about cryptanalysis not cryptography.

Anyway it is the best cryptanalysis book ever. Far from applied cryptography. I read both.

https://pwn.college/

it is about memory corruption vulnerabilities exploitation. Not cryptanalysis.
