Operation Tinkel Bell - Wall of Honor

Operation Tinker Bell is running for almost seven years now, and the feedback and page stats have shown ever more people discovered the thrill of decrypting operational spy messages. That's why I now decided to create a Wall of Honor.

Operation Tinker Bell, the cryptologic challenge, starts in 1964 at the height of the Cold War. KGB colonel Alexander Rogozin defect and his knowledge of communications technology and cryptology could be valuable to U.S. intelligence. A first covert meeting in Moscow ends disastrous. A missing CIA operative and no trace of the KGB colonel.

The challenge immerses you in a Cold War espionage atmosphere with many historically accurate and authentic details. It's up to you, to figure out what happened. For more about the challenge, visit the Operation Tinker Bell Briefing with its Wall of Honor.

NEW! Wall of Honor! As of now, all participants who decrypt all messages correctly can send us all plaintext solutions together as .txt file in a single e-mail and will be registered in the Wall of Honor. We advise you to keep a record of all decrypts and investigate all information like places, units and names that you find in the messages.

Shoutout to all those who completed the challenge before 2020 and might still have the decrypts, or not. Contact me by e-mail to get registered on the Wall of Honor!

Side note: due to several reasons, both nice ones and accidents, I didn't had the opportunity last year to publish much on SIGINT Chatter and the website. I wish all readers a great 2020 in good health, and will do my best to add more new things.
