Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Shaw Industries Group
enterprise business infrastructure
Both blocks name a security operations centre as the registry contact, which most companies of this size do not publish.
What it's used for
- A flooring manufacturer's network. 1,536 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Both blocks are netname
SHWNET-2, the same string on two prefixes of different sizes. - Both registrants append the abbreviation for a security operations centre after a semicolon.
- The prefixes
205.223.124.0/22and205.223.122.0/23abut, together covering a contiguous range. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Naming a security operations centre in a public registry field tells anyone reading that abuse reports reach people who watch traffic for a living. That is a deterrent and a disclosure at the same time, and it is a choice most manufacturers do not make.
- A netname ending in a counter, applied to both blocks, means the first of the series is somewhere else or gone. The number survives the block it distinguished.
- Two adjacent prefixes announced separately rather than combined is a small piece of routing waste repeated across this entire range of the table, by companies with no relationship to each other.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-31, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
