Signature Provenance

Dantir detects devices by matching publicly broadcast radio signatures — Bluetooth MAC OUI prefixes, advertised device-name patterns, BLE manufacturer company IDs, service UUIDs, and WiFi management-frame source OUIs. None of this data is proprietary; it comes from public registries and open community research.

Sources & credit

  • OUI Spy Unified Blue by colonelpanichacks (colonelpanic.tech) — the upstream project Dantir is forked from, and the origin of the core detection engine and much of the BLE signature set.
  • flock-you by wgreenberg — BLE detection research on Flock Safety hardware.
  • deflock.me — community-maintained, crowd-sourced catalog of surveillance-device signatures (ALPR cameras and related gear).
  • IEEE MA-L (OUI) registry — public assignments mapping MAC prefixes to manufacturers.
  • Bluetooth SIG company identifiers — manufacturer company IDs carried in BLE advertisements, published by the Bluetooth SIG.

Nature of the data

These signatures describe what publicly observable radio emissions look like — facts about how devices identify themselves over the air, compiled for interoperability and security-research purposes. A detection indicates only that a matching broadcast was observed nearby. It is not proof of the presence, ownership, or operation of any specific device or party.
