A command line application to search for PAN numbers in files. It is a hobby project and not ready for production use. The idea is to be a cross-platform drop-in replacement for PANHunt.
Although it is written from scratch, it is using directly (ripping off) some parts of PANHunt such as Regex patterns.
NB! The current target is to get fast search results, causing to use high CPU. however, memory usage is relatively low.
PANSearcher is portable. Download the compressed file, extract it and run.
There are two types of releases:
Standard: Requires dotnet 6.0 installed. Not a viable option for many.
Self contained: Single-file executable with dotnet 6.0 and other dependencies included. Download and run.
usage: PANSearcher [ARGUMENTS]
