Hi Josh, With your openssl command you're useing DES in CBC mode however in you C code you're useing DES in CFB mode which are completly different.
Don't feel bad about this. This is a quite common mistake which lot of newbie do. I don't want to explain how block cipher work, how to use them (mostly because I'm terrible at explaining thinks) however I would like to reccomend you to read this wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation which unfortunatelly doesn't explain what block cipher is, however it shows how they should be used.
