I am a bit saddened that Vegard Nossum's work, which they used for encoding SHA-1 to SAT, is only mentioned as a footnote. The github code is at

https://github.com/vegard/sha1-sat

and his Master Thesis, whose quality is approaching a PhD thesis is here:

https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/34912/thesis-o...

Note that they also only mention MiniSat as a footnote, which is pretty bad. The relevant paper is at

http://minisat.se/downloads/MiniSat.pdf

All of these are great reads. Highly recommended.
