Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Alliant Energy
utility corporate business infrastructure
ALLIANT-ENERGY is operated by Alliant Energy, a major electric and natural gas utility serving the Midwest United States.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under netnames
NETBLK-ALI1andNETBLK-ALI2, both assigned to Alliant Energy, indicating a corporate internal network for utility operations. - The AS announces 4096 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes with only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a private corporate estate rather than a public transit or access provider.
Notable
- All registrants in the RDAP data match the announcer, listing Alliant Energy for every prefix.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into two distinct blocks (
198.7.44.0/22and207.71.128.0/23series), suggesting site-by-site segmentation typical of large industrial or utility infrastructure.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
