No, Hashcat doesn't support cracking DES encryption. But it does support some password hashing algorithms which incorporate DES (descrypt, LM hash, etc.) Hashcat does support some popular encrypted filetypes (Office, PDF, RAR, 7z, etc.) but these are algorithms which run the password through a KDF to derive an encryption key, and we attack the KDF, not the crypto algorithm.
Hashcat is open source now, so if this is important to you, you can add it yourself
