Summary

A netname cut one character short, so a prefix length reads as a digit.
What it's used for
- A satellite connectivity provider's network. Eleven IPv4 blocks announced from the United States, no IPv6, and five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The largest block carries the netname
NET-64-40-160-0-2, which is the address followed by a prefix length missing its final character. - Five netname styles appear across eight blocks held by this operator: the truncated address form,
X2NSAT-FNS,IPA-X2NSAT-01,XNSAT-216-245-243-0andXNSAT-216-245-246-0. - Two of those drop the digit out of the company name, so
X2NSATandXNSATboth appear as the same operator's abbreviation. - Three further blocks are registered to a different satellite operator entirely, under the netname
VIASAT. - Twelve of eighteen sampled addresses answered, all in the form
104-171-98-0.x2nsat.com.
Interesting
- The truncated netname is the kind of defect that survives forever. It still looks like a valid identifier, so nothing flags it, and anyone reading the block size out of the netname will be off by an order of magnitude.
- Dropping a digit that is part of the company name produces two strings that both look correct. Matching this operator's space by name requires knowing both.
- Announcing another satellite operator's blocks alongside its own is the ordinary shape for a reseller or a partner arrangement, and it is only visible in the registry, never in the routing.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
