DISCLAIMER: PROOF-OF-CONCEPT TOOL, NOT FOR PRODUCTION (USE AT OWN RISK). Useless PAN generator for testing scanners (pun intended) --------------------------------------------------------- These little programmes print random strings of lengths between 12 and 19 digits. Running any as is, strings should not match PAN criterea which can be checked against on public web sites as http://bincheck.org http://binfind.com http://discovernetwork.com/downloads/Discover-IIN-Bulletin-Feb-2015-FINAL.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_card_number and others. Nopan tool usage: By default, the first two digits of each output digits string will NOT meet criterea that make them match some IIN/BIN lists. Increasing this value (use the --help option for more info) there will me more non-matches but the chance that one of these random strings are a valid PAN increases. After all, public PAN lists might be incomplete. Run nopan 100 16 | grep '^4' which will produce some 16 digit random strings all starting with the digit 4 (Visa uses the digit 4.) Options: Try the help option --help for usage inormation. See also http://www.mjh-it.com/pool/nopan for more information. -- jordan
