AS14465 HITN-AS-1
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
HITN
media education business
The block is registered to a company that no longer exists, under its buyer's netname.
What it's used for
- An educational broadcaster's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
38.117.208.0/22is registered toPSINet, Inc.under the netnameCOGENT-NB-0002.- Neither of those names is the organisation announcing the block.
- The netname's trailing digits are a sequence number in the current holder's own scheme.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Three parties appear in one record: the broadcaster using the addresses, an internet provider that was bought out early in the century and still holds the registration, and the carrier that bought it and has renamed the block without renaming the registrant. Each layer was added by somebody with no reason to remove the one below.
- Space from this range is carrier space assigned to a customer rather than held by them, so the broadcaster is renting. If it changed carrier it would renumber, which is precisely the situation an organisation obtains its own address space to avoid, and it has an AS number without that benefit.
- Two upstreams for a broadcaster is sensible, since the point of the network is to keep programming reaching an audience.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS means the distribution systems are reached by name held elsewhere.

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 2026-10-30, 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: 447 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
