AS14509 AMCINET
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
AMC Theatres
business enterprise media
Two blocks from opposite ends of the same range, fifteen steps apart.
What it's used for
- A cinema chain's network. 768 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
169.224.240.0/23and169.224.255.0/24sit in the same larger range but far apart within it.- Both carry the netname
AMC-THEATRES, matching the registrant exactly. - The AS handle is
AMCINET, which appends a word neither the netname nor the AS name uses. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The gap between the two announcements is the interesting part. Whoever laid this out took the very top of the range for one purpose and a block further down for another, leaving room in between. That is what a numbering plan looks like when someone expected to grow into it, and the space between them is either unrouted or used internally.
- A cinema chain is a network of hundreds of buildings, each with ticketing, projection scheduling and payment terminals that must reach a central system. Almost none of that needs a public address, which is why the announced footprint is this small.
- The handle adding a word the other records omit is the sort of difference nobody notices until they search the registry for one string and miss the other.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS and two upstreams describes a network built for its own use rather than for anyone to find.

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 2026-10-28, 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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
