John The Ripper

Cracking Modes

$john --format=sha256/afs/bfegg/ hashes_to_crack.txt

John will output the cracked passwords to the console and the file "john.pot" (~/.john/john.pot) to the current user's home directory. Furthermore, it will continue cracking the remaining hashes in the background, and we can check the progress by running the john --show command.
