Summary
Salsgiver
isp fiber residential legacy
Salsgiver is an internet provider serving small towns in western Pennsylvania.
What it's used for
- Local internet access. The reverse DNS names each address after the town it serves, under
salsgiver.comwith a two-part suffix:ind-pa,frpt-pa,blar-pa,rurv-pa,com-pa. One of them adds the medium as well —208-248-109-126.frpt-pa.fiber.salsgiver.com.
Notable
- Eleven prefixes for 4,864 addresses, and they come from at least four different histories. Four blocks carry
UU-netnames, the naming UUNET used for space it handed to customers. Five more are registered asNETBLK-DRAZOR-1to Digital Razor, Inc. Two are registered to Salsgiver Engineering rather than Salsgiver, Inc. - Eight observed BGP neighbours for a network of under five thousand addresses.
- No IPv6 announced.
Interesting
- One
/24is registered asGAZETTE-PRINTERSto the Indiana Printing and Publishing Company, which publishes the newspaper in Indiana, Pennsylvania — one of the towns in the reverse DNS. A local paper that bought a block of addresses in the era when a newspaper ran its own servers, still announced by the local ISP decades later. - Encoding the town into every hostname is a small-ISP habit that pays off during an outage: the name of a failing address says which exchange to drive to. Larger providers gave this up for pure address-derived names once the count of towns stopped being memorable.

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: 453 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
