CCNumGen is a Python 3.9 class that uses the Luhn Algorithm to generate theoretically valid credit card numbers with CVV and expiration dates.

• It can generate Amex, Discover, MC, Visa 13, and Visa 16 cards.
• It generates 3 or 4 digit CVV numbers, depending on the card type.
• It generates an expiration date that is 1 to 3 years from today.
• It prints each card to the console.
• It captures cards in a list of dictionaries.

These are theoretical cards meant for testing the pre-checks that happen on a payment screen before payment is submitted. This utility does not generate real-world card information. For example, real CSV numbers are generated using an algorithm tied to the card number and other data points - something this utility can't do.

Sometimes for testing you need card numbers with specific prefixes. CCNumGen is easy to extend.

• Name the new card type in the CCNumGen class -> card_types list.
• Define the new card in the CC class -> CCDATA dictionary.

CCNumGen generates 5 types of cards. The second argument is the number of cards to generate.

amex = CCNumGen('amex', 2)
discover = CCNumGen('discover', 2)
mc = CCNumGen('mc', 2)
visa13 = CCNumGen('visa13', 2)
visa16 = CCNumGen('visa16', 2)

Each card is printed to the console.

Each card is stored in a list of dictionaries.

[
  {
    'cc_type': 'mc', 
    'cc_num': '5538992865196249', 
    'cc_cvv': '617', 
    'cc_exp': '09-2024'
  }, 
  {
    'cc_type': 'mc', 
    'cc_num': '5191748311982485', 
    'cc_cvv': '434', 
    'cc_exp': '11-2023'
    }
]

To access the list directly:

print(amex.card_list)
print(discover.card_list)
print(mc.card_list)
print(visa13.card_list)
print(visa16.card_list)

To print the list to console:

amex.print_card_list()
discover.print_card_list()
mc.print_card_list()
visa13.print_card_list()
visa16.print_card_list()

Other names:

• CSC - Card Security Code
• CID - Card Identification Number
• CVC2 - Card Verification Code
• CVV2 - Card Verification Value

What is it?

• An anti-fraud measure used by CC companies worldwide.
• A 3 or 4 digit number printed on the physical card - and not embossed.
• Used for Card Not Present (CNP) transactions.
• Different from the CVV1 that's encoded on track 2 of the magnetic strip - this is used for Card Present Transactions (CPT).

Generated with DES encryption using:

• Pair of DES keys (CVKs)
• Primary Account Number (PAN)
• 4-digit Expiration Date.
• 3-digit Service Code.
• Other data

Amex:

• Does have a 3 digit CID code on back of card.
• Uses the 4 digit CVV number on front of card for CNP transactions.
