Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Stihl Inc.
enterprise legacy
STIHL-204-124-67 is held by Stihl Inc., the United States arm of the German chainsaw and outdoor-power-equipment maker, registered in ARIN to 536 Viking Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia — the company's US headquarters and manufacturing site. The ASN record dates from June 2012, so despite the low number this is a reissue rather than an early-internet network.
What it's used for
Corporate connectivity for a manufacturer. The AS announces three consecutive /24s — 204.124.65.0/24, 204.124.66.0/24 and 204.124.67.0/24, 768 addresses in total — with two observed neighbours and no IPv6. Two upstreams and three contiguous /24s is a textbook enterprise edge: just enough multihoming to keep the company's own public services and site-to-site links reachable if one carrier fails. A network of this size doing anything provider-shaped would show a far larger peer count.
Notable
All three prefixes are registered in ARIN to Stihl Inc. under the STIHL-USA handle, matching the AS holder exactly. Registrant, holder and announced space line up with no third parties anywhere in the chain, which rules out the leased-address pattern.
Interesting
The AS handle is a good example of a trap this data is full of: STIHL-204-124-67 is not a product line or a department, it is the company name with the first three octets of its address block glued on. Handles are frequently just internal shorthand, and reading meaning into them is how identification goes wrong.

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 2026-10-27, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
