Mike Oxlong's Credit Card Security™

Do you suspect that your credit card details have been stolen by a hacker? Well look no further, because this piece of generic software will solve all your questions - from whether life is a simulation to where you want to eat tonight.

Features

  • Dark theme: Because even this shady piece of software has some standards.
  • Accessible: We, here at Mike Oxlong Technology (not a real company), leave no stone unturned.
  • Made with Tauri: Should be fast (fast enough)
  • Detail verification: So that you don't send any fake data (harmful for our business)
  • Cross-Platform?: Yes.
  • Safe and Secure?: Absolutely.
  • Easter Eggs

Tech Stack

On a Serious note

  • This software is neither sending any data anywhere nor is it storing any data (exception is the data stored in state. Refer to the Privacy Concerns section for more info).
  • Data verification:
    • Credit card number is being checked with the Luhn algorithm.
    • Expiry date is being checked via regex.
  • Unfortunately, the Mike Oxlong company does not exist (yet).
  • Although it is not sending or storing any data, it is just a joke application and should only be taken as a joke. This is not meant to be a commercial product.
  • For further privacy related concerns, refer here.

How to Use

Download the executable files (.msi for Windows; .deb, .AppImage for Linux and .app, .dmg for Apple) from the releases section and launch the app.

Privacy Concerns

Data Stored
For the error page, the data is being stored in state. This state data will be cleared as soon as the page is refreshed or the app is closed. Apart from that, there is no database which the app is connected to. The database referred to in the app is fictional.

Data Sent
None. No data is being sent anywhere. The app works offline just as well.

Is this app really checking my credit card number for vulnerabilities?
Nope. This app is neither affiliated with any organisation nor is it consuming any API.
