If past cryptographic software is any indication, the DES Cracker will be available from an overseas ftp site within hours of release in the US.

And lacking that, the author can always print it out on paper and physically mail it out of the country; this is specifically allowed by the new Commerce rules as I understand them. And who's to say that the overseas FTP copies weren't scanned from such a paper copy? :-)
