Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
HOT-Net
isp telecom media
419,072 addresses whose reverse names give the city and the cable head-end serving each block.
What it's used for
- An Israeli cable broadband and mobile operator. 419,072 addresses across 72 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and 50 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The largest blocks are
77.138.0.0/15,5.29.0.0/16and213.57.128.0/17. - Netnames include
HOTNET-BROADBAND,HOTNET-2andIL-MATAV-20120508. - Six of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, of the form
rehovot-hotnet145-cmts5-77-138-128-0.hotnet.net.ilandjerusalem-hotnet145-cmts2-77-139-124-254.hotnet.net.il. - The AS handle is
HOTNET-IL HOTmobile.
Interesting
- The reverse zone is a map. Each name carries a city, then a numbered CMTS, the cable head-end equipment that terminates every modem in a neighbourhood. Anyone can read off which towns this operator serves and roughly how the access network is divided between them.
- The address inside each name is not the address that was queried.
77.138.255.255answers as a name ending77-138-252-255. The zone is generated per serving block, so the name identifies the block a subscriber sits behind rather than the individual address, which is exactly the information an operator's own tooling wants. IL-MATAVpreserves the name of the cable company that existed before consolidation, on a block filed in 2012 — long after the rename. Netnames are chosen by whoever files them, and people reach for the internal name they have always used.- A /15 and a /16 alongside 70 smaller blocks is what a cable operator's address history looks like: a few large grants from the years of rapid subscriber growth, then a long tail of whatever could be obtained afterwards.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
5 upstream, 45 downstream and 61 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-10, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
