What is an OID?

Many have asked this question, and many have answered. See this page.

How do I get one?

Various ways.

  • If you are a UK limited company, this may be of interest.
  • Otherwise, most people register under the hijacked (and not totally valid...) IANA OID service.
  • The alternative is to pay, or work for a telco.

What is Warhead using its OID for?

Stuff. Any Warhead-owned OID can be resolved to a file of some description by looking in here. That page, and the assignments.asn1 file, are generated by a Python script and a small text file. Feel free to reuse the script.
