iRule: CCN Scrubber

This is a tie-in to my last post regarding a SSN scrubber. How would you go about scrubbing out Credit Card Numbers? This isn't as simple as searching for a nnn-nn-nnnn pattern. CCNs vary in length depending on the issuer of the card. But one thing is common: they all must pass the Luhn Formula. Info on the Luhn Formula, or MOD 10 can be found here.

This example will look matching patterns looking like credit cards and return their indexes into the payload. Then the number is run through the Luhn formula (with optimizations by unRuleY). If it is indeed a valid credit card number, it is masked with X's.
