Sorry to be ignorant, but I don't see where 65.222.202.53 is shown to be NSA-owned? I don't see that in the robtex record. Am I reading it wrong? I'm not familiar with this notation, I don't often look into IP allocation issues.

- devindotcom 13y agoThank you, I think that clears it up for me.
- A1kmm 13y agoIt isn't NSA owned according to the records. 65.192.0.0/11 is UUnet (Verizon Business) owned. nsa.gov is hosted on 65.196.127.225, and both 65.196.127.225 and 65.222.202.53 fall in the block of 2(32-11) = 2,097,152 addresses designated 65.192.0.0/11 and owned by Verizon Business. Verizon rents out those 2,097,152 addresses to their customers, but they are unlikely to tell you which customer is assigned which address at which time without customer permission (and neither address is set up in Verizon's nameservers to reverse resolve back to a hostname). There is as much evidence that the NSA is behind this as there is that the YMCA USA (another Verizon customer) is behind this (or any of the numerous other Verizon Business customers): http://dns.robtex.com/ymcausa.net.html#records http://dns.robtex.com/ymcausa.net.html#records (that is just an example to show the flaw in saying that link [8] is a smoking gun that the NSA owns the server; I don't think the YMCA is behind this).
