Unclassified ARIN
Summary
EG&G, Inc. (PerkinElmer)
enterprise legacy
EGGINC — registered to EG&G, Inc., the US technical and engineering services company. The address space it announces is used today by PerkinElmer: reverse DNS across the network resolves under perkinelmer.com.
What it's used for
- Corporate networking for the company's sites and services.
- Announces the legacy
165.88.0.0/16block (plus a small ARIN assignment), registered to EG&G since the mid-1990s.
Notable
- A good example of a registry record outliving a corporate name: the ARIN objects still say EG&G while the live network answers as PerkinElmer.
- The ASN and its Class-B block date from the mid-1990s, well before ARIN tightened up assignment policy — an enterprise holding its own /16 is a hallmark of that era.

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 2026-10-19, 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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
