Summary

Ben Klinke

Germany · AI-generated

personal hosting germany

The AS handle BEN-KLINKE is held by Ben Klinke.

What it's used for

  • The space carries personal and small-scale hosting infrastructure, evidenced by the netname de-4-bk and reverse DNS entries pointing to klinke.online and ns2-vel.v6direct.org.
  • The inventory consists of 256 IPv4 addresses and 10 IPv6 prefixes, with 11 announced prefixes in Germany.
  • With only 2 observed neighbours, the low address-to-neighbour ratio indicates a small, self-contained network rather than a transit or large access provider.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant for the primary IPv4 block lists both Ben Klinke and GHOSTnet GmbH, aligning with the individual holder identity.
  • The address inventory is compact, consisting of a single /24 IPv4 block and a mix of /48 and larger IPv6 prefixes, typical of a personal or micro-enterprise setup.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
