MAC address vendor

Edimax Technology Co. Ltd. — 7 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:00:B4
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Edimax Technology is registered to MAC prefix 00:00:B4 and 6 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:00:B4, that block was registered by Edimax Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Edimax OUI on a globally-administered address = genuine Edimax hardware; given router/camera CVE history and default-credential exposure, flag such devices for firmware-currency and credential-hardening checks.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

Edimax Technology Co. Ltd. is a Taipei-based networking-hardware maker that holds seven IEEE MA-L blocks, all registered under one exact org name and one address: No. 278, Xinhu 1st Road, Neihu District, Taipei City, TW 248. The seven prefixes are 00:00:B4, 00:0E:2E, 00:1F:1F, 00:50:FC, 08:BE:AC, 74:DA:38, and 80:1F:02; no Edimax assignment appears in the MA-M or MA-S registries. Consolidating these into a single vendor entry is more useful than seven near-identical per-prefix pages, since they resolve to the same registrant. Edimax's product line — corroborated on its own site — spans consumer and SMB wireless routers, range extenders, Ethernet switches, USB and powerline adapters, and IP network cameras, so these OUIs are typically seen on SOHO Wi-Fi gear and IP cameras in MAC-lookup context. The security-relevant caveat for anyone classifying Edimax hardware: the brand carries a well-documented CVE history in both its router line (command injection, buffer overflow, auth-bypass on BR-series models) and its IP cameras — most notably CVE-2025-1316, an unauthenticated command-injection flaw in the camera-cgi param.cgi endpoint that Mirai-based botnets have exploited in the wild, with default admin:1234 credentials cited as a contributing weakness. An Edimax OUI on a globally-administered address reliably identifies genuine Edimax hardware; treat such devices as candidates for firmware-currency and default-credential checks.

IEEE assignment
7 prefixes → Edimax Technology Co. Ltd., Neihu Dist., Taipei City, TW [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI); 7 IEEE prefixes; no MA-M or MA-S assignment for this org [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (the IEEE MA-L registry columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Security note
substantial CVE history in two product classes — (1) SOHO routers (command injection / buffer overflow / auth-bypass on BR-series, several reportedly unpatched); (2) IP cameras, notably CVE-2025-1316, an unauthenticated command-injection flaw in /camera-cgi/admin/param.cgi (NTP_serverName param), exploited by Mirai-based botnets, with default admin:1234 credentials cited as a contributing weakness. Edimax also published a KRACK (WPA2) response advisory.

Analyst note
An Edimax OUI on a globally-administered address identifies genuine Edimax hardware; given the router/camera CVE history and default-credential exposure, flag such devices for firmware-currency and credential-hardening checks.
