About this network

Two addresses in this network answer to the reverse name STOLEN-IP.

What it's used for

• A Kyiv internet provider. 7,680 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, six observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Every block sits in 80.78, from 80.78.32.0/20 down to two /24s.
• Four of the five carry the netname UA-NBI-INET-20010704; 80.78.62.0/24 is named Rozvytok.
• The AS handle is NBI-KIEV Kyiv, Ukraine.
• Reverse names take three forms: 80.78.36.0 answers as net36.0-127.nbi.com.ua, 80.78.51.255 as 80-78-51-255.nbi.com.ua, and both 80.78.43.254 and 80.78.50.0 as STOLEN-IP.nbi.com.ua.

Interesting

• STOLEN-IP is a message, not a hostname. Somebody at this network set a reverse name on specific addresses to say they consider them taken — announced by another party, or used without authorisation. Reverse DNS is one of the few places an operator can leave a note that anyone investigating an address will actually read, and this is what that looks like.
• net36.0-127 encodes a subnet boundary in the name: the address, then the range it belongs to. The generator that wrote these names had the subnetting plan in hand, so the reverse zone publishes how the /20 is carved up.
• Rozvytok as a netname is a plain word with no country prefix and no date, sitting among four identically-dated records. It is what a block gets when somebody names it after the project rather than filling in the form the same way as last time.
