Unclassified RIPE
Summary
MSH Medien System Haus
hosting business media
A block whose contact and registrant differ by a letter transposition: MSH against MHS.
What it's used for
- Media and systems hosting in Germany. 15,872 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
195.238.128.0/19is netnameDE-MSH-970102, dated the second day of January 1997.- Three blocks share
DE-MSH-990923:212.4.224.0/20,212.4.244.0/22and212.4.248.0/21. 195.191.42.0/23is netnameSIR-NET, registered to MHS Digital GmbH withMSH Hostmasteras its contact.- Fifteen sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
MSHandMHSon the same record, one as the contact and one as the registrant, differ only in the order of two letters. Whether that is a rebrand, a related company or a typing slip is not something the registry can answer, and either way both spellings are now official. Three letters in a different order is exactly the kind of difference that automated matching gets wrong in both directions.- The January 1997 date is among the oldest here, and the second of January is a working day chosen by whoever came back from the holidays with a form to file.
- Three separate announcements out of
212.4.0.0sharing one netname and one date is the same pattern that shows up repeatedly in this range: the split happened after the allocation, for internal reasons, and every router on the Internet carries the result.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-11-12, 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: 453 networks and 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
