I use Blowfish and GOST (depending on the size of the container I'm working with), and avoided DES, even before Deep Crack was invented. :-)

"Deep Crack" was invented in 1993 by John Gilmore. (based on a paper at Eurocrypt '93). It was implemented more recently. BTW this is all in the archives in 1993. Everything was discussed in the first 12 months of cypherpunks.
