Cracking KeePass password hashes

Let’s try this hash against John and observe the output, by issuing the following command:

******@slingshot:~/john crackkeepass ––wordlist=rockyou.txt
Warning: detected hash type "KeePass", but the string is also recognized as "KeePass-opencl"
Use the "--format=KeePass-opencl" option to force loading these as that type instead
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
Loaded 1 password hash (KeePass [SHA256 AES 32/64])
Cost 1 (iteration count) is 600000 for all loaded hashes
Cost 2 (version) is 2 for all loaded hashes
Cost 3 (algorithm [0=AES 1=TwoFish 2=ChaCha]) is 0 for all loaded hashes
Will run 4 OpenMP threads
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, 'h' for help, almost any other key for status
