Since were on the topic of hijacked ipspace, i find myself wondering
about deru.net


"Deru, the name you can trust, from people you can trust." - Quoted from
www.deru.net

Ok, so this is the name you can trust, from the people you can trust,
 right?  Well then, why would it appear that Deru.net, the local ISP
you can trust is using hijacked ip space?

It would appear as if Deru.net is using:

www.deru.net has address 140.99.0.15

My handy dandy whois tool tells me this range belongs to:

Im finding it odd that not a single thing, other than the POC email for
a questionable /16 and the ASN announcing questionable /16 has anything
to do with deru.net.



Also, my friend google tells me this:

http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:aHJS20Er5m0C:members.aol.com/karima4483/resume_c.html+%22Datability+Software+Systems,
+Inc.%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

smlnk: http://smlnk.com/?21ZQK6FP 

So it would appear that Datability Software Systems, Inc. was located
in Natick, Mass, and became Penril Datability Networks

http://216.239.37.100/search?q=cache:87PPbzXONd0C:isdn.modemhelp.net/p/penrildatabilitynetworks.shtml+Penril+Datability+Networks+&hl=en&ie=UTF-
8

smlnk:http://smlnk.com/?08DJKDW3

It now appears that Penril Datability Networks was split up, with thier
assets being aquired by Bay Networks, and Access Beyond.

http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:jSOOHJ6s9fkC:www.cgraphix.com/39_detail_clients.html+Access+Beyond+%2BPenril&hl=en&ie=UTF-

smlnk: http://smlnk.com/?UHXEPYDC

That leaves us with Access Beyond, a manufacturer of remote access telecom
products.  And whose website is now owned by a cybersquatter.


Now the question at hand is, at which point did this hardware company
become Deru.net, the Internet Service Provider you can trust? was this
before, or after Penril Datability Networks Inc/Bay Networks/Access Beyond.?

Did everyone decide to move to arizona and start an ISP? or is this just
another example of IP hijacking that we all find ourselves taking a look
at.

Can deru.net provide documents that say they bought or were aquired by
Datability Software Systems, Inc/Penril Datability Networks/Bay Networks/Access
Beyond.?

There are other companies using this address space (eldosales.com) but
they dont have the appearance of owning a possibly hijacked /16
