Summary

Internet Archive

United States · AI-generated

hosting legacy

The network of the Internet Archive (INTERNET-ARCHIVE), the San Francisco non-profit digital library behind archive.org and the Wayback Machine.

What it's used for

  • Serving archive.org, the Wayback Machine, Open Library and the Archive's streaming and full-text search services.
  • Hosting the Archive's own storage clusters. Reverse DNS on the announced space is unmistakable: www.archive.org, node names like ia801200.us.archive.org for the petabox storage servers, and fold1.toronto.archive.org for the Canadian mirror.

Notable

  • The Archive runs its own infrastructure rather than renting cloud capacity, so this AS fronts one of the larger self-hosted content libraries on the public internet from a comparatively small address footprint (roughly 6k IPv4 plus a /48 of IPv6).
  • The address space is directly registered to the Internet Archive with ARIN, and the ASN itself dates to a 1997 registration.

Interesting

  • The Toronto rDNS reflects the Archive's deliberate policy of keeping a full copy of its collections outside the United States.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
