Summary
TDS Manage Now
hosting business enterprise
One /24 in IPv4, a six-rung ladder in IPv6, 96 neighbours, and a netname dated 1993.
What it's used for
- A German managed-IT and hosting operator. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, seven IPv6 prefixes, and 96 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The whole IPv4 inventory is
194.147.133.0/24, netnameDE-MANAGE-NOW-19930901. - IPv6 is announced as
2a00:b400::/30,2a00:b404::/33,2a00:b404:8000::/34,2a00:b404:c000::/35,2a00:b404:f000::/36and2a00:b405::/32. - The AS handle is
TDS. - Three addresses were sampled and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The IPv6 announcements are a halving ladder: a /33, then a /34 starting where it ends, then a /35, then a /36, each covering half of what remains. Every rung except the /30 and /32 sits on an odd boundary, so none of them delegates its reverse zone in one piece. Somebody carved a block by repeatedly splitting it in two and announced every piece separately.
- 96 neighbours on 256 IPv4 addresses is one of the most lopsided ratios in this range. The address count measures what a network hosts; the neighbour count measures who it talks to, and the two have almost nothing to do with each other.
19930901is a four-digit year from September 1993 — six years before the two-digit netnames elsewhere in this range, and one holder here has four-digit dates running back to 1989. The long form was never a later replacement for the short one. Both were available throughout, and netname dates record who filed rather than when the convention stood.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
