AS13251 QITEC Leipzig, Germany
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
QiTEC
hosting business enterprise
A netname dated March 2000, before the routing archive itself begins.
What it's used for
- The network of a German IT company in Leipzig. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
QITEC Leipzig, Germany, carrying a city and a country as free text. 213.179.64.0/22is netnameDE-QITEC-20000330, registered to the company, a lowercase role objectqitec, and an abuse role.- The registry lookup for the second prefix failed, so nothing is known about its registration here.
Interesting
- The netname encodes 30 March 2000. The archive's earliest possible observation is 18 August 2000, so this allocation was already registered before the record-keeping that would have caught it starting to route. Any first-seen date on a network this old is a floor rather than a birthday.
- The handle answers a question the field was not asking. A location belongs in an address object, and it ended up in the name because a form put the two lines next to each other. Several networks in this range carry the same kind of overflow, some of them with the full street address.
- A role object written in lowercase alongside two properly capitalised entries is the sort of detail that survives untouched for decades, because nothing depends on it.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
