Summary
XBASE Technologies Corp.
hosting enterprise legacy
XBASE-ASN1 is XBASE Technologies Corp., a Toronto managed IT services provider that has been running other companies' infrastructure since 1988 — managed IT support, hosted cloud, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint migrations, VoIP and security for small and mid-sized businesses across the Greater Toronto Area.
What it's used for
Hosting and connectivity for XBASE's own clients rather than for XBASE alone. The AS announces three IPv4 /24s (768 addresses) and no IPv6: 198.96.113.0/24, plus 38.117.75.0/24 and 38.69.130.0/24.
The prefix registrations split in an instructive way. 198.96.113.0/24 is registered to XBASE itself, while both 38.x blocks sit under Cogent handles (COGENT-NB-0002, COGENT-A). That is not the address-leasing tell. 38.0.0.0/8 is Cogent's own space, and a customer announcing a Cogent-assigned /24 from its own AS is simply provider-aggregatable address space handed to a transit customer — the registrant is the upstream, not an unrelated third party in a different RIR.
Reverse DNS shows what the space carries, and it is the giveaway for the business model: alongside 05.75.xbase.com, an address in the same /24 resolves to owa.generationcapitalmgmt.com — an Outlook Web Access endpoint for a different company entirely. XBASE is hosting client-facing mail and application servers in its own address space, which is exactly what a managed service provider does.
Notable
Twelve observed BGP neighbours against only 768 addresses. That is well above enterprise territory and reflects a provider that has arranged real upstream diversity — sensible when your customers' mail and line-of-business systems live behind you and an outage is billable against you.
Interesting
The inventory is untidy in a way that is worth reading correctly. One provider-independent /24 held by XBASE, two provider-assigned /24s from its upstream, no IPv6: a small mixed estate accumulated over decades. Scattered does not mean suspicious — every prefix here traces back either to XBASE itself or to the carrier it buys from, which is precisely the test that separates a real operator from an AS announcing addresses on behalf of strangers.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
