@ackshewally There’s also D4:2D:C5 for i-PRO & a bunch for Motorola Solutions Inc. (different child company from Motorola, seems to make police hardware). Does anyone know any more OUIs? There are a few other Bluetooth police hardware manufacturers I’ve found that don’t seem to have OUIs.

Also, does using an asterisk like that work? I’ve been using a regex for it & I would like to turn it into that to make it more readable.

I wish there was something better than BLE Radar for this that could search for things other than just MAC addresses & preset manufacturers.

@the_third I couldn’t find anything about Motorola Solutions specifically except that they make police equipment. This isn’t the same as the other companies named Motorola, it’s a different company.

Motorola Solutions is a dominant radio manufacturer in the government/first responder space, as well as major infrastructure providers. Yes, that means cops, but it also means firefighters, ambulances, trains, buses, airports, and any fleet of mobile service for mission critical stuff like electric utilities, telecom, and some aviation uses. Back in the day of trunk radio, it used to be common for taxis, too.

Motorola sold its consumer mobile businesses (cell phones) in 2011 in a spinoff as “Motorola Mobility,” around the time it was shutting down and selling off pieces of its space/satellite businesses, but kept most of its other businesses. Today’s Motorola Solutions is the legal successor to the Motorola that invented the cell phone.

Wait could I theoretically go to a UK police station or somewhere with a lot of police and pick up their MAC addresses.

Then if I were to be involved in some direct action I could get alerts that the police are nearby?

If so what device do I need to do this mobile? Like a laptop? Or one of those little orange hacker tools which the name is escapes me right now.

Interesting idea, but aren’t most MAC addresses randomised per connection nowadays?

MAC addresses are assigned to the hardware and do not change with each boot (first 3 pairs are company second 3 pairs are the device), unless you spoof the address then you can make it display any MAC address you wish but the MAC of the device never changes.

Advertised WiFi MAC is randomized per AP by most devices these days, and Bluetooth also have equivalent privacy protocols. So unless you can get the device to connect to you then you won’t see a static identifier that can be followed

Yeah I should have known that I guess as iPhones have that setting.

That’s it. Gone I’m getting old. Flipper Zero init.

Do you have one? I’ve been interested for a minute but not sure if I can loads of fun with it.

I’d be interested in using it to affect digital billboards or taking direct action against companies I don’t think have a moral backbone.

While flipper is very versatile, it’s pretty weak compared to dedicated devices with proper antennas for the signal type you’re looking at.

Nah, it’d mostly just end up being another useless gadget to me. It’s cool, but I don’t have room for gadgets rn.
