TESTOP CO., LTD. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Testop is registered to MAC prefix
44:42:2Fand 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with44:42:2F, that block was registered by Testop — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Two independent MA-L assignments to the same registrant and address corroborate a real company rather than a bare single-OUI shell; device-class and company-status claims are [Likely] since they trace to a single third-party (JobKorea) profile, not TESTOP's own materials.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 44:42:2F or 04:65:65 belongs to TESTOP CO., LTD. (테스탑), a South Korean manufacturer, typically seen on industrial PCB/circuit-board inspection systems and factory-automation equipment rather than consumer networking gear.
Two independent IEEE registrations point at the same company rather than a shared IEEE base. Both blocks are registered to the identical Seoul address — 808 Hanshin IT Tower, 272 Digital-ro, Guro-gu — one filed as "TESTOP CO.,LTD." and the other as "Testop." No the IEEE MA-M registry or the IEEE MA-S registry sub-allocations exist under either block.
Per a third-party Korean corporate profile (JobKorea, not the registry and not an official TESTOP source), the company was founded 2009-03-02, employs roughly 35 people, and reports about 8 billion KRW in revenue, manufacturing PCB inspection and factory-automation equipment. That founding date is a corporate fact, not an IEEE OUI registration date — IEEE publishes none for MAC prefix assignments.
Two caveats limit confidence. The apparent official site, testop.kr, could not be verified — WebFetch returned a TLS certificate mismatch pointing to an unrelated shared-hosting domain — so no claim here relies on it. No CVEs or security advisories referencing TESTOP equipment were found, which is an absence of findings, not a confirmed clean bill.

- Special note
- Official site testop.kr could not be verified — WebFetch failed with a TLS hostname/certificate mismatch (cert issued to an unrelated shared-hosting domain, nossl179.webmaker21.kr); no claim in this entry relies on that site [Confirmed] — testop.kr (fetch failed)

- Analyst note
- Two independent MA-L assignments to the same registrant and address corroborate a real, distinguishable company rather than a bare single-OUI shell; device-class and company-status claims stay [Likely] because they trace to a single third-party recruiting-site profile, not TESTOP's own materials[Likely] — JobKorea company profile
