AS40279 FORESTRACKS
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
ForestRacks
hosting cloud business
FORESTRACKS is operated by ForestRacks.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and cloud infrastructure, evidenced by the
udns.orgreverse DNS entries and the registrant netnameFR006. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, with only 3 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting or business network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for cloud computing services, as ForestRacks provides one-click application deployment and optimized configurations for its customers.
Notable
- The registrant for the 216.21.4.0/22 prefix is ForestRacks, matching the AS holder, while the 23.148.200.0/23 prefix is registered to the American Registry for Internet Numbers.
- The address inventory is small and finely subdivided, consistent with an internal corporate estate or a specialized hosting provider managing specific customer segments.

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 2026-10-15, 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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
