Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Sooner Technology
enterprise legacy
SOONER-AS belongs to Sooner Technology, a managed-IT and network-security provider in Austin, Texas, whose customers include banks, healthcare providers and public-sector organisations.
What it's used for
- Sooner's own edge and the customer systems it manages and hosts. Reverse DNS shows both sides plainly: infrastructure on
sooner.com(router.sooner.com,dc-firewall-01-…,dc-mgt-nat…) and named customer hosts and VPN concentrators in the same space. - The addresses actually in use are two small blocks registered to Sooner Technology with ARIN:
204.69.233.0/24(1994) and206.225.56.0/23(2002).
Notable
- Its address count is misleading. Roughly 65,000 of its ~66,000 IPv4 addresses are a single legacy
/16,143.187.0.0/16, whose ARIN registrant is Ross Technology, Inc. — the defunct Austin SPARC microprocessor company, unrelated to Sooner. That/16carries no reverse-DNS delegation whatsoever. - Treat the
/16as dark space announced on behalf of a third-party legacy registrant. It should not be geolocated or attributed to Sooner Technology, and any ranking that weights this AS by address count badly overstates it. - The ASN itself was registered with ARIN in 1997, so the number is a genuine legacy allocation.
Interesting
- The operating network here is a few hundred addresses. Almost everything else is registry residue from a chip company that stopped existing in the 1990s.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
