Summary
Ekco
hosting business enterprise
Four company names in nine blocks, each acquisition leaving its label behind.
What it's used for
- A Dutch managed IT and hosting provider. 14,848 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 131 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Five blocks are dated
NL-EKCO-netnames:20001204,20091007,20130813,20140121and20140313. - The remaining blocks are
KNS-Net-EKCO,KNS-Net-AMS2,QuatroLogic-Net-AMSandNL-EUROSYSTEMS-20170706. KNS-Net-EKCOis registered to a Quatrologic contact;QuatroLogic-Net-AMSis registered to a KNS contact.- The AS handle is
LUNA, matching none of those names. - Eighteen addresses were sampled and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The two crossed netnames are the clearest acquisition evidence in this range: a block labelled for one company is held by a contact at the other, and the reverse is also true. Somebody renamed the blocks while somebody else moved the contacts, and the two operations passed each other going opposite directions.
- The AS handle still says
LUNA, a name that appears nowhere else in the record. Handles are set once and rarely revisited, so the AS keeps announcing itself under a company identity that the address blocks have all moved past. - The dated netnames cluster: one in 2000, then nothing for nine years, then three in eighteen months across 2013 and 2014. That is the signature of a provider that grew slowly and then bought aggressively, and the
185.blocks confirm it since that range was only allocated to European operators after the regional registry reached its final IPv4 reserves.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
