Summary
ZeXoTeK IT-Services
hosting legacy
ZeXoTeK IT-Services GmbH (Webtraffic) — a small German hosting and IT-services
company. The AS announces roughly 10,000 IPv4 addresses, but they split into two
very different halves and only one of them belongs to ZeXoTeK.
What it's used for
- Its own provider-independent
193.107.144.0/22(DE-ZEXOTEK-PI) carries ordinary hosting: named customer servers on their own domains, an Austrian ISP's gateway, a media-software vendor's streaming host. - The much larger
176.96.96.0/19is not ZeXoTeK's allocation. It is registered to FiberLink GmbH of Vienna (AT-FIBERLINK-20110720) and merely routed by ZeXoTeK — the route object says so explicitly (IP routing via zexotek.de).
Notable
- That FiberLink /19 is wall-to-wall outbound mail infrastructure. Almost every host resolves as a mail transfer agent (
mta-…,mail-…,smx…,emx…,mxta…) under dozens of unrelated, generic-sounding domains:premium-nst.com,nst-dedicated.com,content-meltor.com,connectzonenews.com,mailtrixy.com,xhitnetwork.comand many more. That is the classic spread-out bulk-mail (snowshoe) naming pattern. - Do not geolocate the /19 to ZeXoTeK's German address. The registrant is a different company in a different country, and the AS is only its transit.
Interesting
- Two halves, two stories, one AS. Reading the holder's name alone would card this as an ordinary German hoster and miss that four-fifths of its address space is somebody else's mail farm.
