One of two blocks is registered to a consulting firm, and the single address that answers is a mail server.
What it's used for
- A text analytics software company's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

- Two blocks, two registrants, and one AS holding both.
Interesting
- A block registered to a consultancy inside a software company's AS is either space the consultancy obtained on the client's behalf and never transferred, or a shared arrangement that outlived the engagement. Either way the record names a company that has no obvious connection to the one announcing it.
- A hostname that says mailer identifies the one machine most worth knowing about in a small block. It is the address that accepts connections from strangers by design, and the only one in the sample that advertises itself at all.
- Two /24s from different parts of the address space, each with its own registrant, is a network assembled rather than allocated.

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 2026-10-16, 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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
