Gents, Someone can comment on it, I received an email from an Open System college arguing that mainframe is very weak...please help me to answer it:
" oclHashcat v1.20 support added to crack RACF (IBM mainframe) hashes with 1 Billion (Giga) Hashes/second on a single stock clocked hd6990 graphics card: http://pastebin.com/Cqdhe3kR I didn't expect IBM's Mainframe password hashing to be so weak :( In comparison, the SHA512 hash is cracked at 0.217 BH/s (GH/s) on the same graphics card: http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/ If you don't know what's oclHashcat, it's a program that cracks password hashes using graphics cards (GPUs). The link above shows how many algorithms are supported and a sample of the speed that some are cracked at depending on the GPU setup.
