Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Cégep de Sainte-Foy
education research infrastructure
A virtual machine template answers in public DNS, and the registrant field ends with a stray word.
What it's used for
- A college's network. 2,048 addresses in one IPv4 prefix,
199.202.104.0/21, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block is netname
CSF2, registrantCegep de Sainte-Foy; domaines. - The netname is numbered two, so a first object exists somewhere that is not announced here.
- One of three sampled addresses answered, as
vmtemplate.csfoy.ca.
Interesting
- A name reading as a virtual machine template is not a service anyone should be reaching. It is the golden image a hypervisor clones to make new machines, and it has been given a routable address and a public name. Whatever it was for, the record outlived the reason.
- A registrant with a semicolon and a trailing word is two fields that got joined. Somebody's form concatenated the organisation with the department that handles its domains, and the registry stored the result as one string.
- One upstream for a college is normal in a country where education networks aggregate regionally. The institution does not buy transit; it connects to the shared research network and inherits everything beyond it.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
