Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Atlanet (Retelit)
isp telecom business
A reverse name that reports the wrong address, and four spellings of the word static.
What it's used for
- An Italian provider network. 98,816 addresses across 13 IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The inventory leads with
62.123.128.0/17,62.123.64.0/18and213.234.128.0/18. - Netnames are all
IT-RETELIT-X-, dated20000215,20000504,20001110and20060928. - Reverse names come from a third party's domain,
btitalia.it, in four forms:static-62-123-160-0,stat.62-123-191-255,STATIC-62-123-80-0and62-123-95-255.STATIC. 62.123.223.254answers asstat.62-123-103-254.btitalia.it.- Thirteen of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name.
Interesting
- That last name is wrong. The address is
62.123.223.254, and the name it returns claims62-123-103-254— a different third octet. Reverse zones are generated, and a generator working from a stale or mistyped subnet list produces names that look authoritative and point at addresses that are not there. Nothing breaks, because almost nothing checks. - Four different renderings of the same word, differing in case, punctuation and abbreviation, is four different scripts or four different eras writing into one namespace. Reverse DNS accumulates conventions the way an old codebase accumulates styles.
- 98,816 addresses reaching the internet through a single neighbour, under a domain belonging to another operator, is a network that has been absorbed. The AS handle, the registry holder and the DNS each name a different company.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
