Summary

Benteler

Germany · AI-generated

business corporate manufacturing internal

BENTELER is operated by Benteler Business Services GmbH.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record line-46-254.benteler.com and netnames registered to BENTELER Business Services GmbH.
  • The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic consists of internal business functions, including IT, finance, and administrative operations for the global Benteler group, which specializes in metal processing and automotive technology.

Notable

  • Registrants for both announced prefixes (194.246.48.0/20 and 194.246.44.0/22) are consistently listed as BENTELER Business Services GmbH, matching the AS holder.
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided into two distinct blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation typical of a large multinational corporation's internal estate.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
