Summary
StepBroBD, Inc.
research nix experimental ipv6
AS18932 is operated by StepBroBD, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries two IPv6 prefixes:
2602:f590:a::/47and2602:f590:c::/46. - With zero IPv4 addresses announced and only one observed neighbour, the inventory suggests a small-scale or experimental network rather than a large-scale transit or access provider.
Notable
- The registry holder is StepBroBD, Inc., which aligns with the AS name STEPBROBD.
- Secondary sources describe the organization as an educational/research entity and note its involvement in the Nix package manager ecosystem, specifically maintaining a large Nix monorepo.
- The address inventory consists solely of two IPv6 prefixes with no IPv4 allocation, indicating a modern, IPv6-first deployment.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 1 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
