In the Freebies section today, there was a thread that had a link to a site that generated fake credit card numbers. I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me out?

yes, it was removed. The legality is not known, so it was removed to protect our members.

Interesting.

why would you need a fake credit card number other than to commit fraud?

There is no problem with randomly generated credit card numbers, but they have limited uses. It's easy enough to generate a number yourself that will pass a CC valid-form check - just make sure the first 2 numbers are a proper identifier (4 numbers for Discover, 3 for Diner's Club) and that the entire number itself will pass a Luhn Mod 10 check. However, I doubt you'd be able to get into porn sites with a random number. A very small authorization is made to your card (a couple cents?) when you submit it for verification. The charge is never captured and disapppears after a week/month (depending on your bank).

I had to use a site like the one posted (but better ;)) to test a website payment system I wrote. The payment gateway has a test server and a live server - the test server wouldn't accept real-life CC numbers but still needed valid-looking numbers. For 6 different card types. Why write new code to generate numbers when someone else has already done it for you?
