How far is COPACOBANA different from EFFs DeepCrack?

0

Opposed to DeepCrack, COPACOBANA is entirely built from off-the-shelf components. At its core are reprogrammable hardware devices (FPGAs). A single machine consists of 120 FPGAs (Xilinx Spartan3-1000) and a controller board (Xilinx FPGA with MicroBlaze) and can easily be reprogrammed with custom binary files, compiled from VHDL or Verilog. DeepCrack requires much more than that. The power consumption of COPACOBANA is orders of magnitudes lower than DeepCrack.
