| # Wireless Vendor Identifier Metadata |
|
|
| This dataset contains public wireless and Bluetooth metadata relevant to BLE |
| research. It is designed for defensive analysis, asset classification, |
| literature support, and reproducible metadata lookup. The dataset is split into |
| multiple tables so it is not just an OUI mirror. |
|
|
| It deliberately excludes complete BLE advertisement payloads, packet templates, |
| radio timing recipes, device captures, effectiveness labels, and any instructions |
| for impersonation or nuisance testing. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Contents |
|
|
| - `data/vendor_identifiers.csv`: normalized identifier records from public |
| vendor registries. |
| - `data/bluetooth_assigned_numbers.csv`: selected Bluetooth SIG assigned |
| numbers useful for interpreting BLE metadata, including AD types, GAP |
| appearances, GATT services, characteristics, descriptors, declarations, |
| protocol UUIDs, service-class UUIDs, and unit UUIDs. |
| - `data/vendor_summary.csv`: per-vendor counts by identifier namespace. |
| - `data/ecosystem_profiles.csv`: curated ecosystem context for Apple, Samsung, |
| Google/Android, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO/OnePlus/realme, vivo, Sony, LG, |
| Motorola/Lenovo, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. |
| - `data/vendors.csv`: vendor group labels and ecosystem tags used during |
| curation. |
| - `data/source_manifest.csv`: source URLs, snapshot hashes, and row counts. |
| - `schema/vendor_identifiers.schema.json`: vendor identifier schema. |
| - `schema/bluetooth_assigned_numbers.schema.json`: assigned-number schema. |
|
|
| Current vendor identifier records: `6213`. |
|
|
| Current Bluetooth assigned-number records: `1227`. |
|
|
| Snapshot date: `2026-05-25`. |
|
|
| ## Intended Use |
|
|
| Appropriate uses include: |
|
|
| - mapping observed public identifiers to likely vendor families; |
| - interpreting BLE metadata fields such as AD Type, Appearance, GATT Service, |
| GATT Characteristic, and Descriptor values; |
| - building defensive BLE inventory or wireless metadata analysis tools; |
| - supporting academic writing about BLE discovery, manufacturer identifiers, |
| and vendor ecosystems; |
| - training or evaluating classifiers on benign public registry metadata. |
|
|
| Do not use this dataset to generate, optimize, or test spoofed advertisements |
| against devices or people without explicit authorization. Do not combine it with |
| payload templates, timing profiles, or captured device identifiers to conduct |
| impersonation, spam, harassment, or availability attacks. |

| ## License |

|
| The dataset packaging, schemas, curation scripts, and original descriptive |
| metadata in this repository are released under the Apache License 2.0. |
|
|
| The underlying public registry data is derived from IEEE Registration Authority |
| and Bluetooth SIG sources. Those source registry terms, notices, trademarks, and |
| attribution requirements remain with the respective source authorities. This |

|
| ## Data Fields |
|
|
| See the files in `schema/` for column-level details. |
|
|
| ## Safety Boundary |
|
|
| This dataset is public identifier metadata only. It does not contain: |
|
|
| - complete BLE Manufacturer Specific Data values; |
| - Apple, Samsung, Android, or other proximity-pairing payloads; |
| - randomized device addresses, captured MAC addresses, RPAs, RSSI, timestamps, |
| or location data; |
| - tested trigger rates, success labels, or spam-tuning parameters. |
|
|
| ## Known Limitations |
|
|
| - Vendor grouping is keyword-based and intended as a research convenience, not |
| an authoritative corporate ownership graph. |
| - IEEE OUI assignments are numerous, so the vendor identifier table is still |
| OUI-heavy. The separate Bluetooth assigned-number and ecosystem tables are |
| included to make the dataset useful beyond OUI lookup. |
| - Identifier ownership does not prove that a specific nearby radio device is |
| made by that vendor. |
| - Bluetooth assigned numbers describe public metadata fields; they do not imply |
| support for any proprietary proximity-pairing protocol. |
