Summary
Ionic Capital Management
finance business
A retired carrier's initials, an address, and a code nobody can read.
What it's used for
- An investment manager's network. A single IPv4
/24announced from the United States, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netname is
UU-65-217-191-D6: two letters from a carrier brand that has not existed under that name for a long time, the first three octets of the block, and a two-character code. - The block is nonetheless registered to the holder rather than to that carrier.
- All three sampled addresses answered, in the form
host64.ioniccap.com, under the holder's own domain. - Those names use the final octet alone as the label, so they are unique only within this one block.
- The routing history begins in 2000.
Interesting
- The netname and the reverse names disagree about who runs this space. One was written by a carrier that no longer exists under that name; the other is published by the holder today. Both are live, and the older one is the one the registry serves.
- Naming hosts by their last octet is the most compact address-derived scheme in this range. It reads well and it silently assumes there will never be a second block, because the labels would collide the moment there is.
- The two-character suffix on the netname is not derivable from anything else in the record, so it belongs to the issuing carrier's own sequence.
- One block and two upstreams, for a firm that publishes host names but nothing about what they do.

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 2026-11-06, 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: 454 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.
