Summary
Solar Internet Repairs Sir Tech Jamaica
business jamaica leased
SIR-TECH-JA is held by Solar Internet Repairs Sir Tech Jamaica.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to Cogent Communications, LLC under the netname
COGENT-A, indicating the block is leased or allocated by Cogent rather than owned by the holder. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
38.57.6.0/23, comprising 512 addresses, with 0 IPv6 prefixes. - With only 1 observed neighbour in RIS, the low neighbour count relative to the address block suggests a small-scale access or business network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is Cogent Communications, LLC, which differs from the AS holder Solar Internet Repairs Sir Tech Jamaica, consistent with a lease of Cogent address space.
- Secondary sources identify the AS number with Paltalk (aka AVM Software Inc.), a video group chat service, suggesting the AS number may have been previously used by or associated with that entity before the current Jamaican holder.
- The inventory consists of a single contiguous /23 block, with no other prefixes in the inventory.

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.
