Summary
House of Ben Avraham LLC
hosting legacy
A small independent network operated by House of Ben Avraham LLC (HBAL-2-3653), a company registered in Lake Mary, Florida.
What it's used for
- Announcing a handful of small IPv4 prefixes plus an IPv6 block, with transit from several major carriers and peering at internet exchanges.
- A small, multi-homed operator network rather than a large ISP, hosting provider, or institution.
Notable
- The low AS number is misleading. This number was reissued: the current registration dates to 2021, so it carries none of the early-internet pedigree that a number in the 3600s might otherwise suggest. Low AS numbers are routinely reclaimed and handed to modern holders.
- Public registry data says little about what the network actually carries, so this card stays deliberately thin rather than guessing.
Interesting
- AS3653 is a good worked example of why you cannot read a network's age from its AS number alone. Its neighbours in the 3600s are 1990s universities and carriers; this one is a 2020s allocation wearing an old number.

Reputation
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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
