See How Credit Card Validation Works

Credit Card Validation Screen ShotEver wonder how to validate a credit card or how sites are able to detect if that card entered in is valid without actually connecting to a server. However complex it may seem on the surface, underneath it is quite simple as you can see it fully explained by this page here that breaks down the steps in validating a credit card number. They have stepped though a single example however you can enter in your own test card number to see how it validates. I tried a few just random numbers to see if they would validate. After a few tries I was not only able to get cards to validate, but also I can now switch between different card types, such as VISA, Mastercard and AMEX. Many things that I did not realize have been brought to light such as the first digit on a credit card actually determines the industry the card services.

Fake Profile Creator

Contact Generator Screen ShotHave you ever been on a message board or chat room sat there randomly typing keys on the keyboard to try to come up with a fake name, address, or phone number? If you are anything like me the creative juices stop flowing 3 minutes into the exercise and settled on some simple like j_smith from 123 West Lane. Which in someways makes sense since we all have a limited pool of names that we can pull from. If we could only come up with something more unique and less prone to others discovering that the profile is 100% fake.

Well, the site names.igopaygo.com just released the other day a profile generator that comes up with all the vital stats for a user. You are able to select by gender, country, and even the type of credit card you want your new online alias to have. All the information generated is geographically accurate, including the zip code and phone number. Credit cards pass the simple validations. Even the blood type is randomly accurate to percentage of people that have that type of blood. Here is an example of the information generated from the tool.
