Summary
InterTECH Corporation
isp telecom business
Two routers are named with the systematic syllables chemists use for undiscovered elements, spelling out their own last octet.
What it's used for
- A rural cable and internet operator carrying several smaller companies' space. 5,120 addresses across sixteen IPv4 prefixes, nine observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
24.223.0.128answers asunbioctium.intertech.netand24.223.0.255asbipentpentium.intertech.net.- Six blocks are netname
WINDBREAK-plus a town name, all registered to one cable company. - Others are registered to a broadband company and to a communications company named after a river, with netnames
ACTV-BROADBANDandTR-CABLE-TV. 24.223.7.0/24is netnameINTERTECH-BILLNET, and24.223.3.0/24isINTERTECH-BTST.- All eighteen sampled addresses answered, across three different domains.
Interesting
- The systematic scheme names an element by giving each digit its own syllable, so those two hostnames read out as one-two-eight and two-five-five: the last part of each address, spelled in chemistry. Someone named two routers for their own fun and left it in public DNS for twenty years.
- A netname containing the word for billing marks which /24 holds the systems that invoice customers, which is a useful thing to know and an odd thing to publish.
- Six blocks named for six small towns, each its own registry object, is what a cable company looks like when it grew by buying one town at a time.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
9 upstream, 0 downstream and 9 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 2026-10-25, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
