Unclassified ARIN
Summary
INet Solutions
DATAFIVE is INet Solutions, a small ARIN-era network operator registered at 14 Wade Road in Latham, New York — the Albany suburbs. The ASN dates from 1997 and its administrative contact sits at the domain datafivetech.com, which is where the DATAFIVE handle comes from.
What it's used for
Serving a small local customer base with connectivity and hosted services. The AS announces 7 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,792 addresses and no IPv6 — seven separate /24s scattered through 149.19.0.0/16 (149.19.2.0/24, .3.0/24, .4.0/24, .180.0/24, .192.0/24, .193.0/24, .204.0/24).
That scatter is worth a word, because it superficially resembles the shape of an address-leasing operation. It is not one. Every announced /24 is registered to INet Solutions itself in ARIN, not to unrelated third parties — the discriminator for a broker silhouette is who the prefixes are registered to, and here the answer is the holder. This is simply what a 1990s allocation history looks like: discrete /24s handed out one at a time as the company grew, never contiguous, never renumbered.
Notable
Classified business, with low confidence on the current use. Three observed BGP neighbours against under 2,000 addresses puts this firmly in the multi-homed customer bracket rather than any wholesale role, and the scale rules out consumer broadband. Beyond that the evidence runs out: no reverse DNS turned up in the sample, and the company keeps no public profile. Treat addresses here as small-business infrastructure in upstate New York and do not assume more.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-24, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-25. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
