Summary

United States · AI-generated

isp telecom hosting

The AS handle names a company that appears nowhere in the registrations, and the netnames it generated skip a number.

What it's used for

  • A regional provider's network. 18,944 addresses across 16 IPv4 prefixes, with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • The AS handle is VCS-AS, while every block that resolved is registered to M3COM of Virginia, Inc.
  • The netnames are VCS-NET, VCS-NET-2 and VCS-NET-4, with no third.
  • One block, 69.31.12.0/23, breaks the pattern entirely: netname NLYR-69-31-12-0-1, registered to Defender Technologies Group, LLC.
  • The lookup for 74.200.80.0/21 failed, so nothing is known about that record.
  • Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

  • A handle and a registrant that share no letters is an acquisition where the paperwork was updated and the identifier was not. The handle is the older of the two names and the harder one to change, so it becomes an accidental record of what the network used to be.
  • The missing third netname was almost certainly registered and later returned or transferred. Sequence numbers are assigned once; a gap means something left.
  • A block registered to an unrelated company but announced from here is a customer whose space this network carries. The netname prefix belongs to whichever provider originally assigned it, which makes it a third party's label on a second party's block inside a first party's announcements.
  • One neighbour for 16 prefixes leaves no alternative path.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
