Can COPACOBANA only break DES?

0

No, any symmetric cipher with up to roughly 64 key bits can be attacked with COPACOBANA. Examples include RC5 or GSM A5. Moreover, presumingly strong ciphers with a long theoretical key size can be broken if the number of required steps is less than 2^{64}. This can, for instance, be the case for ciphers with a weak key derivation function, e.g., AES with 8-character keys, etc…
