Summary

Imagine Communications

United States · AI-generated

enterprise media legacy

A broadcast equipment maker, still registered under the name it traded as before the sale.

What it's used for

  • Corporate connectivity. 512 addresses in two /24s with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • Both blocks are registered to maintainer harrisbroadcast-mnt, and the netnames read US1_HarrisBroadcast and HarrisBroadcast.
  • The two prefixes, 156.43.58.0/24 and 156.43.60.0/24, are not adjacent. 156.43.59.0/24 sits between them and this AS does not announce it.
  • The AS handle is the current name, IMAGINE-COMMUNICATIONS. Everything below it is the old one.

Interesting

  • Harris Broadcast was the broadcast division of Harris Corporation, sold off to private equity and renamed. The company that makes the playout and transmission gear behind a great many television stations changed hands and changed names, and the address records changed at the top only. Netnames, maintainer handles and the underscore in US1_HarrisBroadcast all survive the transaction.
  • 156.43 is early class B space, from the years when a company like Harris was allocated address ranges by the block. What is announced now is two /24s out of it, which is the usual fate of that space: kept, subdivided, and mostly not on the public internet.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
