Summary
DST Systems, Inc.
finance business enterprise
The acquiring company's overseas arms hold blocks carved out of the middle of the acquired company's own range.
What it's used for
- A financial record-keeping company's network. 19,456 addresses across 25 IPv4 prefixes, with five observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Most blocks carry the netname
DSTNET-B, registered toDST Systems, Inc.with aNetwork Engineerscontact. - Three do not:
SSC-UK-01andSSC-UK-02registered toSS&C Technologies, andSSC-AU-01registered toSS&C Technologies - AU. - All four of those sit inside
170.40, the same range as everything else. - Twenty-two of the 25 prefixes come from
170.40; the rest are single/24s from12.41,63.87and198.176. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Sub-allocating an acquirer's foreign subsidiaries out of the acquired company's own space is the cheapest possible integration. Nothing renumbers, nothing moves, and the registry records the merger as three rows in the middle of somebody else's block.
- A netname ending in
-Bimplies anAthat no longer appears anywhere here. Whatever the first network was called, only the second survives in the routing table. - Twenty-five announcements for one company's own use, cut from
/20down to/24, is internal structure made visible. The pieces map to processing sites rather than to any traffic-engineering need, since five neighbours cannot make use of that much detail. - Publishing no reverse names is normal for a firm whose counterparties are other financial institutions connecting over arranged links.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
