Can we crack the something like the following?
echo -n "1234567" | openssl enc -e -des-ecb -a -nosalt -k a
The lack of a salt can cause parsing and other problems.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shown openssl enc command and examining how the project currently parses openssl-enc input. Focus on support for DES-ECB with no salt and determine how additional ciphers should be recognized; done means the example can be processed without parsing errors and existing behavior remains intact.
