AS14657 CEC-INET - Crown Equipment Corporation
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Crown Equipment Corporation
business enterprise
Every part of the address is padded to three digits in the reverse DNS.
What it's used for
- A lift truck manufacturer's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- All three sampled addresses answer as
syn-071-067-058-064.biz.spectrum.comand similar, with leading zeroes on every part. - The whole footprint is
71.67.58.0/24, carrying the netnameCROWN-EQUIPMENT-CORPand registered to the company. - The AS handle contracts the same name to three initials and a suffix.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.
Interesting
- Zero-padding makes every hostname the same length, which means they sort in numeric order when sorted as text. That is a convenience for whoever generates and greps the zone, and it produces names that no human would type from an address without checking.
- The netname spells the company out in full while the handle cuts it to initials, so the record holds the longest and shortest forms of the same name side by side.
- The block is registered to the manufacturer even though the reverse DNS is entirely the carrier's, which is the reverse of the usual arrangement in this range.
- Two upstreams supports a manufacturer whose dealers and service network reach central systems through them.

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 2026-11-05, 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: 453 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
