A form to fill out and email to serve as a Beta Tester for Stripe Snoop. Don't worry about not having any programming experience, or any exotic readers/platforms. |

A form to describe new cards that Stripe Snoop does not recognize. Filling these out is the only way new cards can be added and supported by Stripe Snoop's database. |

The Doxygen Documentation of the Stripe Snoop Source Code. While I am not using all the
features yet, provides excellent insight into the class structure, function and members
variables that Stripe Snoop uses. Thanks to Andy Beatty for the contribution |

aka MCR-8 (1 page, PDF) |
Datasheet for the Magtek #2104 Track 2 TTL Reader. This is often sold as the MCR-8 TTL reader. |

A nice summary of all the ISO standards, including track locations, formats, and common numbering schemes. |
|
(104 pages, PDF) |
A standard for what information should be stored on a drivers' license, and what format. This standard describes licenses issued in both the United States and Canada. Not only are magstripe covered, but smart card chips, biometric samples, and handwriting compression. |

Technical specs for Magtek's 21006516 F2F Decoder Chip. Includes a pinout of the actual chip (which is pin compatible with Magtek's 21006505 Decoder Chip), as well as support circuitry need to build a stand alone application around it. Useful when hacking apart keyboard based readers. |

Nice Diagram that shows the external circuitry that is needed to support this F2F decoder chip. Comparison with the circuit shown in the 21006516 chip shows what the values of these components are. Unless you are buying an F2F chip directly, any magstripe reader you buy (even TTL readers) will already have this circuitry in place. This is a nice reference when you are hacking apart keyboard based readers. |

An article I wrote that was published in the Summer 2004 issue of 2600 that is all about magstripe interfacing. This provided the basis for Stripe Snoop. The source code from the article is also available. |
