Where can I find magnetic strip (track) test data?
I have written a library of functions that parses track 1 and track 2 data from magnetic strips on cards (credit cards, IDs etc.) as per ISO/IEC 7813. I am looking to test this library rigorously against some valid (but obviously not real credit cards') track 2 data. I have only been able to find a few example strings online. My code works perfectly with those examples but id like to test different card issuers etc. to make sure the code is really ready for production. Any ideas? I know that http://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/ offers test credit card numbers, something similar for track2 data would be ideal.
A standard track 2 string containing CC number, expiry date and other info looks something like this: ;1111222233334444=9912101xxxxxxxxxxxxx?
Answer
I have this list that I generated a good few years back based on a sample pack of physical test cards that were provided by a bank I was integrating with. The list is so old some of these cards have since been rebranded (Switch is now known as Maestro for example). Hope it is of some use.
You can always mock up this data using a card number that passes/doesn't pass the luhn check
