Unclassified RIPE Non-Profit
Summary
rack.black
non-profit regional switzerland peering
The AS handle RACKBLACK is operated by rack.black Verein, a non-profit organization based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for a regional peering and networking initiative, evidenced by the netname
CH-PEER42-WIN1and the reverse DNS recordarya.rg13.ch. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 10 observed neighbours; this ratio of limited address space to a moderate number of peers suggests a specialized regional network rather than a large-scale transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants include
Andre Keller; PEER42for the 91.238.144.0/24 block andrack.black Vereinfor the 193.28.185.0/24 block, indicating a mix of associated individuals and the primary organization. - The inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 /24 blocks and two IPv6 prefixes, one of which is a /32, reflecting a compact and specific allocation for its regional operations.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
