What sort of data do credit card readers output?
I have stumbled upon several sites that sell equipment and supplies designed to steal people’s credit card information. These products are normally small stand-alone portable magnetic card readers that store credit card information. These readers are battery powered, and some can store the information from thousands of credit cards.
The HandySwipe provides a portable magnetic card reader interface and display. It collects card data from a “Type 2″ card reader (shown here), and displays the data on a small character LCD screen. Type 2 stripes are by far the most common in use, such as on credit cards and drivers’ licenses. The device can store up to 50 cards, runs on four AA’s, and has a serial connection to download its memory to your computer in CSV format. It can also download data in a raw bistream format compatable with StripeSnoop, so you can take advantage of StripeSnoop’s powerful parsing and analysis features (LRC error checking, backwards swipes, card type/contents/issuers/etc.)
Magstripes use magnetic fields to encode data. Each magstripe reader contains a head which outputs an analog signal of the magnetic fluxes on the card. A specialized chip, called an F2F decoder, converts these signals into digital outputs. We use the game port as a means to read these outputs into the computer. Stripe Snoop will parses these data, and decode the data stored on the magstripe
