Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Zumtobel Group
enterprise business hosting
Every sampled address answers with the same name, and the name is the word undefined.
What it's used for
- A lighting manufacturer's corporate network. One IPv4
/16and one IPv6 prefix announced from Austria, sixty-five thousand addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- All three sampled addresses answer, and all three return
undefined.zgrp.net, character for character the same. - That domain is a four-letter contraction of the group name rather than the company's public one.
- The whole IPv4 holding is one
/16, announced complete, with no smaller pieces. - The AS handle continues past the abbreviation into a description naming a corporate data centre and the country.
- The single block's netname is the bare brand, and its only registrant is a hostmaster object. No company record and no abuse role are listed.
- Sixty-five thousand addresses depend on one upstream.
Interesting
- A reverse zone answering
undefinedfor everything is a wildcard with a placeholder value. It was set so that every address returns something, and the something it returns is the word a program prints when it has no value to print. - It is also useful in a way nobody intended. Three addresses spread across a
/16all answering identically says the zone is generated at the top and nothing below it is described. - A manufacturer with a whole
/16and one upstream is an allocation from an era of plenty, routed as simply as it was in the year it arrived.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
