Summary

hosting business infrastructure
Five netnames carry the date the block was registered, three more name an address-leasing marketplace, and the reverse zone hands out invented personal names.
What it's used for
- A hosting provider's network. 15,872 addresses across 24 IPv4 prefixes plus six IPv6 prefixes, with five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three blocks carry the netname
KING-SERVERS, registered toHosting Solution Ltd. - Six carry netnames of the form
EE-ITHOSTINGGROUP-20151208, each ending in a different date, registered toIt Hosting Groupwith aDirectorand anAbuse-C Role. - Three carry the netname
IPXO, registered toDIAMOND IP BROKERS FZCOwith anInternet Utilities Abuse Contact. - The IPv6 announcements come from four unrelated ranges, including two
/29s from2a07. - Four of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name under
clientshostname.com. Two read as personal names; two read simplycustomer.
Interesting
- Reverse names that look like individual people, sitting alongside others that say only customer, are generated filler. The zone was populated so every address would answer with something plausible, and the names identify nobody.
- Netnames ending in a date make the estate self-dating, and these run across several years. Each is a separate registration under one holder.
- Blocks labelled after a leasing marketplace and registered to a broker are rented, not owned. The operator announces them for as long as the lease runs, and the registry names the landlord.
- Address space registered in one region, announced under a company recorded in another, and leased from a broker in a third is ordinary for hosting and makes the country field close to meaningless.

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 2026-10-21, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain king-servers.com)
as controlled by, or hijacked for, cybercrime. Many operators null-route
everything it originates.
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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
2 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
185.162.128.136 | China-Linked Hacking Group QTFY Targets Military and Critical Infrastructure with Malicious Distributed Systems | 2026-08-26 |
185.162.128.133 | AVrecon Malware-Infected Routers Exploited as Residential Proxies by SocksEscort | 2026-03-12 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
