I remember the days when cvv/cvc was not asked for by websites. These 'credit card number generators' were in huge demand and sold for a lot of cash. Of course you could always dig around and get them for free.

The latest of these programs was written in vb4, which I could decompile to look at the source (the algorithm wasn't easily available then).




CVV/CVC doesn't have much to do with it (I can process cards with nothing more than the number). The issue was that sites were not authorizing cards in real time.
