Disclaimers:

PANscan is designed to accurately find unencrypted credit card data on computer systems and networks while eliminating false positives. PANscan may occasionally misidentify actual card data as a false positive.

PANscan detects card data in streams of ascii text. Some file formats alter the card data such that PANscan does not detect the card data (even though it is displayed in the application).

Other Versions:

A limited version PANscan works on Windows® 95/98. Contact SecurityMetrics Support for more information.
Mac OSX and Linux versions are in development.
