Investigate a wireless network — BSSID vendor lookup, SSID analysis, security flags, and investigation resources. Enter a MAC address (BSSID) or network name (SSID) and hit enter.
Investigation Tips
BSSID to location: WiGLE.net maintains a global database of wireless access points — a BSSID search often returns GPS coordinates, SSID history, and first/last seen dates.
Vendor identification: The first 3 octets (OUI) of a MAC address identify the manufacturer. Use this to narrow down the device type — AP, router, IoT device, or phone hotspot.
Locally administered bit: If bit 1 of the first octet is set, the MAC was manually set or randomized — common for privacy features but also used by attackers to spoof APs.
Rogue AP detection: Look for duplicate SSIDs with different BSSIDs, or known brand SSIDs with unexpected OUI vendors — these may indicate evil twin attacks.
SSID default check: If the SSID matches a router brand default (e.g., "NETGEARXX", "Linksys"), the network may be using factory credentials — check router default passwords.
Cross-reference: Combine BSSID and SSID data — if a known BSSID is broadcasting an unexpected SSID, the device may have been reconfigured or compromised.
