AS6491 TELEKACHINA
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
TeleKachina
hosting legacy
TELEKACHINA is a very small Arizona network, registered to TeleKachina with a Mount Lemmon, Arizona address (in the mountains above Tucson).
What it's used for
- Announces two legacy
/24s registered in 1994 and 1995 —KACHINA-NET-2and a block namedGROSSMAN— plus an IPv6/48. - Reverse DNS across the IPv4 space is uniformly
host-<ip>.telekachina.com, the pattern of a small provider handing out addressed hosts rather than a corporate network.
Notable
- Roughly 512 IPv4 addresses in total: this is one of the smallest networks in the low-AS range, and the kind of independent operator that has simply kept its 1990s registration alive rather than folding into a larger carrier.
- The technical contact has held an ARIN handle since 1994 and also appears on address space announced by AS6488, so the two Arizona networks are administratively adjacent.
Interesting
- TeleKachina publishes almost nothing about itself, so the precise service mix is not publicly documented; the registry and reverse DNS are the only honest evidence of what the network does.

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.
