Summary
BlueCat Networks
business dns ipam cloud
The AS handle BNU-1-46806 is held by BlueCat Networks (USA) Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, with one prefix registered to Cogent Communications, LLC (netname
COGENT-A) and the other to BlueCat Networks (netnameBNU-1). - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and maintains 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate endpoints for BlueCat's DNS, IPAM, and cloud services, supporting its business of providing adaptive DNS and network security solutions.
Notable
- Registrants differ from the announcer for one prefix, with
38.76.23.0/24registered to Cogent Communications, LLC, suggesting leased space or a specific service arrangement. - BlueCat Networks was acquired by Infoblox, which now provides core network services and security for hybrid enterprises.
- The inventory is minimal, consisting of two /24 blocks with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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.
