Unclassified ARIN
Summary
SilverSky
hosting business infrastructure
Three company names across one block of addresses: one in the registrant field, one in the netnames, and a third in the hostnames.
What it's used for
- A managed email and security provider's network. 72,448 addresses across 16 IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Seven prefixes carry the netname
SILVERSKY-INC-USANET, registered toUSA.Net Inc. - Four carry
SILVERSKY-INC-165-212-16, registered toSilverSky, Inc. - One carries
SILVERSKY-INC-USN-BLK-1. - Three of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, all of the form
net-165-212-175-254.net.perimeterusa.com. - Almost every prefix falls inside
165.212, from a/18down to two/22s.
Interesting
- The registry holds one company under another company's netname, and the DNS answers with a third name entirely. Each layer records the owner at the moment that layer was last touched, and none of them gets revisited when the business changes hands.
SILVERSKY-INC-165-212-16labels four separate blocks, including one that starts at.128. The digits in a netname are a note the person filing made about the first block they registered, not a field anything checks.- Three neighbours for 72,448 addresses is a hosted service, not a carrier. The customers arrive over somebody else's network and only the mail has to leave.
- The reverse names spell the address twice, once in the label and once in the address itself, and add nothing else. A hostname like that exists so a log line has something to print.

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 2026-11-02, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
