Summary

isp business hosting
A reverse name that spells out the network, the client, and how it got its address.
What it's used for
- A small provider's network. One IPv4
/22and one IPv6/44announced from the United States, with two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The one sampled address that answered returned
wifi-guest-client-dhcp-254.network1.net, which names the medium, the role, the assignment method and the final octet in a single label. - That name sits under
network1.net, a domain that shares no words with the company's registered name. - The netname is
FNG-IPV4-BLOCK-1, which writes the address family into the identifier even though this holder also announces IPv6. - The registrant field joins the company and its network operations centre with a semicolon, so anything reading that field as an organisation name gets a department appended.
Interesting
- The reverse name is the most descriptive in this batch and the least useful to keep private. It states that the address came from a guest wireless pool, which tells a stranger how much trust the network places in whatever is behind it. Descriptive naming is a convenience for the operator and a free map for everyone else.
- Writing
IPV4into a netname dates the object. It was written when a second family needed marking as the exception, and the holder has since taken an IPv6 allocation that no netname mentions.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
