RO-OLTENIA-20051129,20090623and20150721. 194.102.124.0/23carries the netnameRIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK.- Two of eighteen sampled addresses returned names:
tech11.oltenia.roandnetpass3.ecaterina.ro.
Interesting
RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCKis the registry's own placeholder, used for space it administers directly rather than space assigned to a member. Seeing one announced in ordinary traffic means the block reached a network by a route other than a normal allocation, and the record was never rewritten to say who ended up with it.- One sampled address answers under an entirely unrelated domain. Small regional providers host their customers' machines on their own addresses, so the reverse zone becomes a partial list of who the customers are, which is far more than the routing table reveals.
2a04:c180::/29is a very large IPv6 allocation next to 3,584 IPv4 addresses. The two protocols were rationed under opposite assumptions, and a provider that had to fight for every IPv4 /24 can receive more IPv6 space than it will ever assign.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 431 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.
