Currently, Amazon has three reviews, written in 2013, 2004, and 1998. It's like time traveling to read them. The 2013 review is from such a different perspective (not dissimilar to the other review on LT, truthfully) that I wanted to reach out and explain why the book was important. From the review: "SO.... this book has pages and pages of CODE that one can copy and run to turn your machine into a code breaker. It includes a section about the history of DES encryption, but is really more for the graduate student looking into the history of code breaking."
Those were different days.
Cracking DES describes the effort, and provides the description of the hardware used, and all the source code (at that time, you could print source code, but not share it in the digital form). Even the printing of it was risky. Bruce Schneier had already plowed the road in 1994 with Applied Cryptography (and he joined Phil Zimmerman in the pantheon for running the risks).
It's worth owning, and reading, even if the historical context is fading away. Those were heady days, and Cracking DES still has the flavor of rebellion about it.
