# 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.

remain with the respective source authorities; verify current data against the
official registries before operational use.

## 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

dataset does not grant rights beyond the public metadata curation and packaging
provided here.

## 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.
