Four answering addresses, four conventions, three domains, and a company name written in lower case.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Six IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, eleven thousand seven hundred and seventy-six addresses, across four observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The registered company name is entirely in lower case, including its first word, which is an ordinary adjective rather than a brand.
- The four answering names are: the octets hyphenated under a three-letter subzone, a common noun with a letter appended under a gateway subzone, a customer code with two component numbers under a third subzone, and a name on a customer's own domain entirely.
- All three of the provider's subzones sit under a domain whose name matches the company's initials rather than its words.
- The abuse contact's name is the two letters for an autonomous system followed by this number and two ordinary words.
- Five blocks are the company's own, with a country code, its initials and a date. The sixth belongs to another company outright and keeps that company's name.
- Of eighteen addresses queried, four returned a name.
Interesting
- Subzones under the provider's domain divide the estate by role: one for infrastructure, one for gateways, one for customer connections. It is a filing system published by accident.
- A machine named after a hand tool sits in the gateway zone. Somebody named a router after an object and it is still answering.

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 1,782 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.
