Summary

CtrlS

India · AI-generated

hosting cloud india business

The AS handle CTRLS-AS-IN is held by CtrlS.

What it's used for

  • The space carries cloud and hosting infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to ctrls.in (e.g., static-182-18-155-254.ctrls.in) and registrants like Cloud Innovation Ltd.
  • With 129,280 IPv4 addresses announced across 170 prefixes and 279 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to the address space suggests a transit or peering-heavy role typical of a large cloud provider.

Notable

  • Registrants include Cogent Communications, LLC, Cloud Innovation Ltd, IRT-PEL-IN, and Pioneer Elabs Ltd., indicating a mix of leased space and owned infrastructure.
  • The address inventory is diverse, including blocks originally registered to Cogent and Pioneer Elabs, reflecting acquisitions or long-term leasing arrangements.

Classification and threat

Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
