Why Choose ReVeal?

It is fast and smart. It not only searches for any number sequence, but it applies logic to determine if the number can correspond to a valid card number.
It is also flexible and can be tailored to specific patterns and conditions.
It can be used on demand and integrated into execution chains for periodic searches that detect sensitive information in files.

No Installation Required

Self-contained binary with no dependencies. Portable executable that runs immediately on Linux and Windows platforms.

Fast detection of valid files

Support for searching inside text files and optional Excel files, with safeguards for large scans.

Limit search to known patterns

Define BIN patterns to focus only on intended card number ranges.

Multiple ways to use it

It can be used as a command, as a TUI (Text User Interface) or as part of batch processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about ReVeal.

ReVeal is a command-line PAN finder. It scans files and directories for number sequences that could represent valid payment card numbers, then applies validation rules and heuristics to minimize false positives.

ReVeal applies logic to determine whether a sequence can correspond to a valid card number rather than flagging every string of digits. You can also tune the aggressive search level from strict to permissive, define whitelists for known false positives, and restrict matching to specific BIN patterns.

ReVeal runs on Windows 7 or higher (64-bit) and on Linux (x86_64, kernel 6.x). Both are self-contained, statically linked binaries that work without installation or additional dependencies.

No. ReVeal is a desktop command-line tool and cannot be run on a mobile phone or tablet, whether Android or iOS. It is distributed only as Windows and Linux binaries, so you will need a computer running one of those systems to use it.

Both. ReVeal searches text files by default and also supports scanning optional Excel files, with safeguards in place to keep large scans fast.

Yes, ReVeal is free software. It is currently in beta, so see the Disclaimer for details before relying on its results.

Yes. You can define BIN patterns so ReVeal focuses only on the card number ranges relevant to your search, instead of scanning for every possible pattern.

Yes. ReVeal can be used as a command, as a TUI (Text User Interface), or as part of batch processes. It is scriptable for automation and can be integrated into execution chains for periodic searches that detect sensitive information in files.
