Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Lifeline Computer Solutions
business enterprise
The handle is a registry placeholder while every other field names the company.
What it's used for
- An IT services company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
-Reserved AS-, the registry's placeholder string, sitting where a name belongs. - The holder record names the company in full, as does the registrant on the block.
- The whole footprint is
198.60.194.0/24, carrying the netnameLCS-297. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A placeholder handle beside a populated holder record means the two came from different systems. The registry object was never given a name, while the description underneath it was, so a lookup returns a company and a string saying nothing is here. This sweep has now found the same pairing on another network, so it is a recurring gap rather than one bad record.
- The netname's counter is high enough to place the assignment inside a long-running series, which is the only dating evidence in the record.
- The initials in that netname match the company only if the full name is already known, so the two identifiers cannot be linked without the registrant between them.
- One upstream and nothing published in the reverse DNS.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, 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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
