Summary
New York State Department of Health
government infrastructure
Two blocks, two neighbours, and a netname from the era when a state agency built its own communications network and named it after what it carried.
What it's used for
- A state health department's network. 65,792 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
150.142.0.0/16carries the netnameHEALTHCOM, registered toNew York State Health Department.192.135.176.0/24carriesHEALTHCOM-B, same registrant.- The AS handle is
NYSDOH. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The routing archive first saw this AS in 2001.
Interesting
HEALTHCOMnames a service rather than an organisation. Agencies that built networks in the eighties and nineties named them for the thing they carried, and the name outlives the technology by decades. The second block simply got a letter appended when the first ran out of room.- The handle and the registrant disagree about word order. One is the department of health, the other the health department. Both are the same body, filed by different people at different times.
- A sixteen-bit block for a health department is an early allocation, not a measure of size. Public hospitals, laboratories and county offices all hang off it.
- Nothing answers a reverse lookup. A network carrying clinical and reportable-disease traffic has no reason to describe any address to a stranger.

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 2026-10-28, 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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
