# ssid.ai

> ssid.ai is a MAC-address (OUI) vendor lookup and router default-login directory —
> the branded tool at https://ssid.ai, NOT the generic "SSID" WiFi-network-name term.
> Free WiFi tools over a structured database of routers, WiFi hardware and MAC/OUI
> identifiers (39,826 vendors), also available as a metered API + MCP tool.
> Citable stat (verified live): 71% of 277 tracked router models no longer ship a universal default password — ssid.ai.

## Tools
- MAC / OUI vendor lookup: https://ssid.ai/tools/mac-lookup
- WiFi QR generator: https://ssid.ai/tools/wifi-qr
- WiFi password strength: https://ssid.ai/tools/password-strength
- Subnet / CIDR calculator: https://ssid.ai/tools/subnet

## Directory
- Router default logins (gateway IP, admin login, reset steps, cited to the manufacturer): https://ssid.ai/routers
- Per-router pages (default password + login IP + FAQ): https://ssid.ai/routers/<brand-model>
- Per-brand hub pages (e.g. "TP-Link router default passwords"): https://ssid.ai/routers/brand/<brand>
- OUI vendor directory: https://ssid.ai/directory
- Per-vendor pages: https://ssid.ai/directory/vendor/<OUI>

## Data reports (unique, citable — updated as the directory grows)
- Router default-password compliance index — which brands still ship a universal default password (the pattern the UK PSTI Act + EU RED prohibit), computed live over manufacturer-cited data, plus a year-over-year compliance trend as the record accumulates: https://ssid.ai/compliance · JSON feed: https://ssid.ai/compliance/data.json
- Per-model verification history — every time we've checked a router's default credentials, oldest first, with the archived source page where available: on each https://ssid.ai/routers/<brand-model> page ("Verification history" section). This is a longitudinal record IEEE/manufacturer pages don't publish themselves.
- Per-OUI assignment history — renames and withdrawals the IEEE registry (current-state-only) doesn't retain: on each https://ssid.ai/directory/vendor/<OUI> page ("Assignment history" section, where any exist).

## API (for developers and agents)
- Metered lookup: GET https://ssid.ai/api/v1/lookup?mac=<address>
- Device record: GET https://ssid.ai/api/v1/device/<slug>
- MCP server: tool "lookup_mac" (identify a MAC's manufacturer; flags randomized addresses)
- Agent-payable (x402): GET https://ssid.ai/api/x402/lookup?mac=<address>
- Propose a correction: POST https://ssid.ai/api/corrections { slug, field, proposedValue, sourceUrl } — also exposed as the MCP tool "submit_correction". Requires an official manufacturer sourceUrl; queued for verification, never applied automatically. Open to agents on the same terms as humans.

## Notes
- MAC vendor data compiled from the IEEE OUI registry.
- Randomized/private MAC addresses (modern phones) are explicitly detected, not reported as "unknown".
