Box scanner difference? ( self )

submitted by idguyidk Warning: 0%

I've seen people talking about how its much harder to pass a box scanner but do they do anything more than just read the barcode or magstripe? If so what do they do?

So you need a special ink to pass that stage of the test. It uses an array of lights to see how it bounces off to analyze if it is using the proper ink. The next thing is the laminates, they’re scanned the same way. The template is also checked against real ones loaded into the machine itself, if it’s not 100% accurate then it won’t pass. The barcodes and strips are analyzed to see if they scan or swipe exactly like a real one would. You can adjust settings to have a lower security which may let some IDs pass. Some of the vendors who own one can probably weigh in better on the specifics but that is a pretty general explanation of the box scanners.

According to IdentiFake, they check: Security pattern detection, Microprint – Fine printing visible at 10x magnification, Holograms, Captures Front & Back ID Images, Infrared images, Ultraviolet images, 1D barcode, 2D barcode, Optical character recognition, Magstripe information.

Box scanners scan the entire id afaik it doesn't even check the barcode or magstripe, it looks at the colors and maybe the material of the ids and determines if it is real or not.

It isn't that it's hard it's just that there is no point since not a lot of bars use them so we'd rather use that effort to improve stuff that bars do check. It is a single brand of scanner, and the effort would only result in an ID that happens to pass that single brand of scanner better, and wouldn't really improve the ID in general by much.

Hello, as I know, box scanners, also known as barcode scanners or magstripe readers, primarily function by reading the encoded information on the barcode or magnetic stripe of an object. However, in certain contexts, such as high-security areas or specialized industries, box scanners can incorporate additional features to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access. You can check more information in minecraftle game which is interesting

Don't try using a fake, it will fail. Few stores/bars/clubs have them, so there's no reason the vendors would spend shitloads of money to make IDs that can pass them. While it is possible, it would raise prices which makes the jew vendors upset.
