trackParser

trackParser is a tiny credit card or magstripe card parser that reads in the raw string from the card and converts it to usable data. This can be used to charge a credit card as well as just read what is inside random magnetic stripe cards. For more information how magnetic cards work as well as the 3 different types of tracks available for the cards, visit This Wikipedia Article On The Magnetic Stripe Card
