[anti-abuse-wg] AS201133

Hi Ronald,

Not really, it is documented in the RIPE database. Here is how you can find it:

First search the database for the AS:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html?searchtext=AS201133

There you see the AS with the sponsoring LIR:
sponsoring-org:  ORG-LE44-RIPE

If you look up that organisation you get the LIR:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=ripe&key=ORG-LE44-RIPE&type=organisation

Which is "Lir.bg EOOD" in Bulgaria.

No secret handshake required :)

Not that I can see, but maybe that company from Belize has some presence in our service region. The AS seems to be maintained by Verdina LTD in Belize. What I can see from their website suggests they offer dedicated server hosting with up to 10Gbit/s dedicated connectivity. Maybe they host part of their servers in Bulgaria? I don't know, but that isn't impossible.

Cheers,
Sander
