Parrot SA — 5 prefixes (MA-L)

Parrot SA is a publicly traded French electronics company (Euronext Paris: PARRO), founded in 1994 by Henri Seydoux and headquartered at 174 Quai de Jemmapes in Paris. The cached IEEE MA-L registry lists five separate 24-bit OUI blocks under the identical organization name and address — 90:3A:E6, 00:12:1C, 90:03:B7, A0:14:3D, and 00:26:7E — which is corroborated independently by the third-party maclookup.app database, giving strong confidence this is a single canonical org record rather than a fragmented or shell registration. Parrot's product line pivoted from early Bluetooth car kits toward consumer and professional drones: the AR.Drone, AR.Drone 2.0, Bebop, Disco, and the current ANAFI series, the last of which is now marketed for professional ISR, public-safety, and industrial inspection use. Beyond the registry entry, Parrot's OUI footprint has independent real-world corroboration in security research: the AR.Drone 2.0 shipped with an open, unencrypted Wi-Fi link and no pilot authentication, which the "SkyJack" project exploited by fingerprinting nearby drones via their Parrot OUI, deauthenticating the legitimate operator, and hijacking the flight link. That gives Parrot's OUI a rare second layer of substance — not just a registered company name, but a device class that has been targeted, analyzed, and fingerprinted in the wild specifically because of these MAC prefixes.

Date registered

Unknown — IEEE publishes no assignment/registration dates for OUI/MA-L blocks; not fabricated. Third-party per-prefix "registration dates" shown by maclookup.app (e.g. 00:12:1C → 2004-08-14) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded here as such. [Confirmed]

Security context

AR.Drone 2.0 shipped with an open, unencrypted Wi-Fi link and no pilot authentication; the "SkyJack" project fingerprinted Parrot drones in the wild via these OUI prefixes to deauthenticate the operator and hijack the flight link. Independently echoed in academic security-hardening literature on the AR.Drone 2.0.

Analyst note

a Parrot OUI in a Wi-Fi beacon frame reliably flags a Parrot drone (or legacy Parrot accessory) even before payload inspection — useful for airspace/asset monitoring, but the same fixed prefix set is exactly what enabled the SkyJack hijack technique and enables passive third-party tracking of nearby drone activity.
