Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Cloud Source
hosting business infrastructure
Three fields say the same brand, and the only thing they add is a counter that never reached two.
What it's used for
- A hosting company's network. One IPv4 prefix and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is the brand with a zero-padded numeral one on the end.
- The netname is the same brand, the word for a network, the numeral four for the protocol version, and the same zero-padded one.
- The record does carry an IPv6 prefix, so the version marker separates something real, even though only one block in the record is marked.
- The whole IPv4 holding is that single block, registered to the company under its own name with its corporate suffix.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Zero-padding a counter to two digits is a decision to leave room for ninety-nine more. One block sits inside a numbering scheme built for a hundred, and the padding is the only trace of that expectation.
- Marking the protocol version in a netname was once necessary paperwork. The address itself now says which version it is, so the field records a habit rather than a fact.
- One block behind one upstream is the smallest arrangement that still needs an AS number. Whatever the number is for here, it is not routing diversity.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
