I do not keep up with the various DES challenge efforts: Did DESChall
ever give a reason for not releasing source code?
Has anyone tried reverse engineering the executable?
Does anyone have statistics on how quick deschall is as opposed to, for
example, Bryddes? If they haven`t released source code and it is
significantly faster it may be they have further key schedule
optimisations they do not wish to share.
