United States of America · AI-generated

hosting business leased

The AS handle BROWNRICE-INTERNET-1 is held by Brownrice Internet, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries a mix of corporate infrastructure and leased hosting, evidenced by netnames like BRI-22-2019 and SMARTHOST-LEASE, alongside reverse DNS entries such as kleefeldart.com and serv2.root-word.com.
  • With 4,352 IPv4 addresses announced across 7 prefixes and only 2 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates a hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants for the majority of prefixes align with the announcer, specifically Brownrice Internet, Inc., while two prefixes are registered to third parties: SMARTHOST, LLC and Enoctus Web Services Ltd.
  • The address inventory is fragmented, including a large /32 IPv6 block and several smaller IPv4 blocks, with some space appearing to be leased to other operators.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
