Just a note : I know hashcat author, Atom, tried a bitsliced DES
version, but reported that the register usage was too high to make it
competitive with the "vanilla" version. I thought this was surprising
but he is probably the most experienced GPU-cracker writer around. This
means it is probably non trivial.
