Can SHA 256 be cracked?

For example, one said on a public forum that SHA-256 is virtually impossible to crack while the other said that it's a rather poor method for password storage as it could be cracked easily.

How to crack SHA256?

Iterate all possible combinations: This method is called "brute force" which relies on trial and error. This is a more time-consuming process but if you have data about possible characters and maximum length of the text that you want to decrypt, you can narrow down the combinations and crack SHA256 by iterating all possible combinations.

Is SHA 256 a good password cracker?

If it means 'is not entirely dictionary words, but is largely words with some added dingbats and leeting and such' that's where modern password crackers like John and ocl aim and might succeed. SHA-256 is a relatively poor way to store passwords but it is considered to be pretty much impossible to "crack".
