Summary

media hosting infrastructure
The same company writes its netname two ways, and which way tells you which registry issued the block.
What it's used for
- A social network's edge and corporate address space. 6,400 addresses across 13 IPv4 prefixes and 11 IPv6 prefixes, with six observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Blocks in
144.2carry the mixed-case netnameLinkedInwith an abuse role; blocks in108.174carry the all-capitalsLINKEDINwith hostmaster and abuse-desk contacts. - The lookup for
103.20.92.0/22failed, so nothing is known about that record. - Four of eighteen sampled addresses returned names of the form
108-174-0-128.fwd.linkedin.com. - The IPv6 prefixes come from three unrelated families, two beginning
2620and one2a05:f500.
Interesting
- Capitalisation is the tell. One registry's records are filed in capitals by convention and another's preserve whatever the applicant typed, so a single company ends up looking like two. Anyone matching networks by netname alone will split this one in half.
- The reverse names sit under a label that marks them as generated in the forward direction, which is a way of saying these addresses are answered for by machinery, not people.
- Six thousand addresses is a small footprint for a service of this reach. The AS is where the company meets other networks; the capacity that serves the site is somewhere else entirely, behind addresses this record never sees.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
