Summary
Ingersoll Cutting Tool
enterprise business infrastructure
One company, two blocks, and two different abbreviations of its own name numbered from different starting points.
What it's used for
- A machine tool manufacturer's network. 768 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
208.71.252.0/23carriesINGER-5, with the company name recorded in capitals.50.204.12.0/24carriesINGERSOLL-1, with the same company name recorded in mixed case.- One netname truncates at five letters, the other spells the name out; one counts from five, the other from one.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The two records were filed years apart, by different people, following different habits, and nothing in the registry forces them to agree. The counter restarting at one on the newer block is the clearest sign: whoever created it either did not know about the earlier series or decided it was not theirs to continue.
- The AS handle names a product line rather than the company, which suggests the number was obtained for a division and later inherited by the parent.
- Four upstreams for a manufacturer of this size is more than most peers in this range carry, and it fits a business whose plants cannot stop because a single carrier had a bad afternoon.
- The newer block comes from a range issued long after the easy allocations ran out, so the company went back for more space recently and paid for it.

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 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
