According to the FAQ:

>Is demonsaw going to be Open Source?

>This was the question that I was most asked at Defcon. Demonsaw's foundation is built off of DemonCrypt, which is open-source and available for free on GitHub (MIT License, also developed by me). Demonsaw itself builds upon DemonCrypt's functionality and creates a graphical interface for users.

I can't find that repository though (this is the closest thing I could find: https://github.com/eijah/demonsaw).

From a security point of view, "partially open source" is no better than "closed source".
I agree, however if the lib is indeed open source (which I'm not sure of), then it should be easier to create a fully open source clone.
Sounds like the FAQ has incorrect information in it. https://github.com/search?q=demoncrypt

So, that's another black mark... :(

Someone already opened an issue: https://github.com/eijah/demonsaw/issues/2
That link was for the workshop files.
