Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Point5 Managed Services
hosting business infrastructure
Four blocks from four unrelated ranges, all registered under one netname.
What it's used for
- A managed services provider. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, the IPv6 block
2605:ff40::/32, and eight observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The prefixes begin
147.185,137.83,192.197and206.166, sharing no common parent. - All four are netname
PMSL-17, the company's initials and a number. - All four are registered to the company directly rather than to a carrier.
- Eight upstreams serve 1,280 addresses.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Four blocks from four separate ranges is what buying address space on the transfer market looks like. Nothing about the numbers relates them; the only thing they have in common is who owns them now, and the shared netname is the registry recording exactly that.
- One netname across all four makes the registry unable to tell them apart, which matters more here than in a carrier's records, because these came from different places and may have different histories attached to them.
- Eight upstreams for a network this size is a provider selling reachability rather than capacity: the paths are the product, and a /32 of IPv6 costs nothing to hold alongside them.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
