Is generating SSNs legal?
Generating test SSNs for legitimate purposes like software testing or education is generally permitted, provided they aren't used fraudulently. However, using fake SSNs for deception, identity theft, or financial gain is illegal. Always consult legal counsel before using generated numbers in systems handling real user data.
What's the purpose of this tool?
Developers use it to test software validation systems, educators demonstrate SSN structure, and researchers anonymize datasets. It helps create realistic test data without exposing real personal information.
Can I use generated SSNs officially?
No. These numbers follow valid formats but may match real SSNs. Never use them for government forms, financial transactions, or any official purpose. They're strictly for testing/educational scenarios.
