Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Scala Data Centers
hosting business infrastructure
Fifteen of eighteen addresses answer with the reverse-lookup name of the address itself.
What it's used for
- A data centre operator. 185,856 addresses across 59 IPv4 prefixes, five IPv6 blocks, and eight observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
201.84.64.0answers0.64.84.201.in-addr.arpa, which is the name the query was made against.- Fourteen more addresses answer the same way, across five separate ranges.
- Netnames are bare numbers with no letters at all:
480586,93436,50161,10438,31360. - One block belongs to a company whose registered name contains a dot, in the style of a domain.
- The largest announcement is a
/16; the IPv6 blocks run from/36up to/33.
Interesting
- A record answering with the query name maps the address onto itself. Nothing breaks loudly: the lookup succeeds, so software that checks whether a name exists is satisfied, and software that expects a hostname gets a string that looks like one until it is parsed. Across five ranges it is a generator doing what it was told rather than a mistake on one record.
- Numeric netnames are a regional registry's own identifiers rather than names anybody chose. They make the record unambiguous to the registry and unreadable to everyone else, which is the opposite of the trade the other registries make.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 8 downstream and 11 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 2026-10-18, 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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
