business it-services colocation
The AS handle METHOD is held by Method Technologies Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate IT infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
METHOD2and reverse DNS entries pointing tophx1.methodcolo.net. - The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 3 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale business network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate endpoints and IT services infrastructure, consistent with Method Technologies' business as an IT services and computer repair provider.
Notable
- Registrants include
Infinigon, Inc.for the23.249.240.0/20block andMethod Technologies Inc.for the162.219.44.0/22block, showing a mix of owned and potentially leased or acquired address space. - The address inventory is small and subdivided, with one prefix registered to a different entity (
Infinigon, Inc.) than the AS holder, suggesting historical acquisitions or specific service allocations.

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 2026-10-25, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
