AS15368 INTARES
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Intares
hosting business infrastructure
A date in a netname that is one digit short, and three blocks registered to other parties.
What it's used for
- A hosting company's network. Five IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes announced from Germany, nearly seven thousand addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Two blocks share a netname whose trailing date has seven digits where the convention uses eight, so a digit was dropped when the record was typed.
- Two further blocks belong to a different company under two unrelated netnames, one of them a regional network name rather than a corporate one.
- The fifth block is registered to an individual rather than a company, which is rare in space this old and usually means the registration was never transferred.
- Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- Three registrant fields carry a role for abuse, each worded differently.
Interesting
- Three separate parties inside five blocks is the normal condition of a hosting network. Address space gets acquired with customers, with companies, and occasionally with nothing but a handover email.
- The short date will never be corrected. Registry text is written once and quoted forever, and nobody audits a netname for arithmetic.
- Silence in reverse across every sampled address is worth noting for a host, since mail leaving unnamed addresses is scored harshly by receivers.

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 2026-10-21, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
