Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Empire International
business enterprise infrastructure
Seven scattered blocks, one netname on all of them, and a handle cut off mid-word.
What it's used for
- A ground transportation company's network. 2,048 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- All seven blocks carry the identical netname
EMPIRE-CORP-NETWORKand the same registrant. - They sit within one narrow range but are not adjacent, running from
66.207.144.0/24to66.207.158.0/24with gaps throughout. - The AS handle is
AS-EMPIRECLS-SECAUC, while the AS name spells the last word out in full. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The handle stops one character short of a place name because the field has a length limit, and the name field beside it does not. The same string, entered once, comes out whole in one column and truncated in the other.
- Seven announcements for a single company's small estate is the expensive way to hold address space. The blocks were assigned one at a time out of the same range as the company grew, and nobody has ever had reason to consolidate.
- One netname across all of them means the registry cannot tell you which block does what. That is a choice in favour of consistency over description, and it is the more common of the two.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS across eighteen addresses, on a network whose public face is a booking system somebody else probably hosts.

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 2026-11-11, 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 2026-11-11. 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.
