My paper ``Understanding brute force'' explains an attack with a much
better price-performance ratio than the attack described by Biryukov:

Biryukov's central point regarding key amortization was made earlier
(and, I think, more clearly) in my paper. My paper also analyzes the
merits of various defenses against the attack.
