"IAmA former identity thief, credit card fraudster..." @reddit

I have heard many complimentary mentions about reddit.com, but as for me the percentage of really good info is too small.
However I found there a quite interesting IAmA post "IAmA former identity thief, credit card fraudster, blackhat hacker, document forger. AMA" by driverdan. For those who are not familiar with this subreddit I mention, that administrators require a proof that author is actually person who he claims to be, which makes info in this posts a little more truthful.

So, credit card fraudster (post is actually about credit cards, not about blackhat hackers) is answering any questions. I also mention that this post (and answers) were taken about a year ago, but for me they are still interesting.

Here is a video of Dan DeFelippi (driverdan himself) talking about credit card frauds:


And here You can read some screenshots of the most interesting parts (some of them are being told in video). Note, that the answer of the author is highlighted by blue nick background.

String Generator v0.5

So today I made a new version of my Chrome extension String Generator.

Changes:
* Pattern for the number string was changed. Old version: 4[0]4, new version 1[0]9. Just for the logic - first character is 1, last is 9.
* Pattern for the text string: old version z[x]z, new version a[*]z.
* Was added checkbox for inserting spaces: if checkbox is checked every 10th character in the string is a space (eg a********* ***z). In old version if I needed to generate a really long string, eg 500 characters, in many views and reports it was displayed as non breakable string, which seems like not real data.

So, here is a screenshot of new version:
