Autonomous system

Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Baudville
business enterprise
The same carrier writes this block's address backwards in one system and forwards in another.
What it's used for
- A recognition and awards products company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
74.204.36.0/24, carrying the netnameUSSIG-0-36-204-74-24and registered to the company itself. - That netname lists the four parts of the address in reverse order, then the prefix length.
- All three sampled addresses answer as
customer-74-204-36-64.host.ussignalcom.netand similar, listing the same parts in the usual order. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.
Interesting
- Both strings are generated by the same carrier from the same input, and they disagree on which end to start from. Reverse order is how addresses are written in the DNS itself, so one system took its convention from the naming tree and the other from how people read addresses aloud.
- The carrier's prefix leads the netname while the customer registration names the company, so the block is the company's while every label on it belongs to the provider.
- The reverse DNS marks every address as a customer host rather than naming the business, which is the standard template for a provider serving many small blocks.
- Two upstreams on a single carrier-labelled block is more redundancy than the naming suggests.

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 2026-11-03, 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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
