Infrastructure provider wanted for internet measurement and IP intelligence project
Hi,
I’m looking for a provider that can offer VPS or dedicated servers for a legitimate internet measurement and IP intelligence project.
The project is similar in concept to services like Rapid7 Project Sonar, IPinfo, and IP2Location. It is not for intrusion, exploitation, unauthorized access, or hacking. The goal is to analyze IP usage patterns at scale and help classify whether an IP appears to be normal residential or human traffic, or related to VPNs, proxies, bots, hosting providers, relays, and similar non standard sources.
What I need:
- Large scale TCP and UDP scanning across public IPv4 space
- Bulk DNS collection and resolution, including PTR, A, AAAA, and related DNS records
- At least a /27 dedicated IP range
- Reverse DNS setup ability for each IP
I’m specifically looking for providers that clearly allow this type of activity, ideally with written approval, custom terms, or a clear abuse handling process for internet measurement projects.
Thank you.

Go away.
Hey, do you mind telling your budget as well and other things, I think that providers might be more interested in giving offers if you tell them your budget to have them feel if custom t&c would be worth it, thanks!
That’s fair.
At this stage I’m mainly looking for a provider that is actually open this type of use case, because that is more important to me than the exact price.
Budget is flexible depending on what is offered, the IP allocation, and whether the provider is comfortable supporting this under clear written terms.
I’m being completely transparent here. I did not just take a cheap VPS or bare metal server and start doing it quietly, which is what many people usually do. that why i'm looking in advance.
I may have told you it somewhere else already, but please consider getting your own ASN for such project.
It would save providers a lot of headache (getting abuse reports for your scanning) and make them more likely to agree to this.
in other words, fuck off right now to blackcockworld or some other shady forum
Like @oloke said, if you are scanning for legal and legitimate purposes, then get yourself an ASN and IPv4 Subnet. If you are unable to get yourself an ASN and IPv4 Subnet to do scanning, then you are in the wrong place.
I understand the ASN part, but as far as I understand the bigger issue is the IPv4 space itself. Getting an ASN is one thing, but getting IPv4 directly is usually involves a long wait.
No, it involves money. You don't need to wait.
I understand money is the real factor here.
if there are sellers or providers that can offer a /24 for rent, lease, or purchase, even if it is flagged, or previously blacklisted or spam rated subnet, that is not necessarily a problem for this project, feel free to post here or send me a private message.
Thank you
Look at this thread. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/160162/aio-ip-related-ipv4-ipv6-asn-thread-only-providers-lirs-are-allowed-to-post-offers#latest
If you're a legitimate security researcher, prove that you have some online presence. No one is going to trust you with their IP reputation otherwise. Even providers that welcome Tor exits are going to be iffy.
And, as @oloke says, get your own ASN.

Hey,
We could provide you with an ASN and the servers, but you'd need to at least source your prefix elsewhere. You can announce it to us though via BGP.
If you're using your ASN (which, as said, we can lease as well), and your prefix, then we're more than happy to provide you service for this.
I suspect you're from Israel and connected to the Israeli military.
Am I right?
You suspect that because...?
I'm from Israel, and you already know that as you replied me yesterday in HostCram (aka your company) ticket system, however if i was connected/affiliated to Israeli military (or what you trying to say) do you really think that i would ask for permission nor signing up with my real details?
Because i've signup in HostCram with my REAL details including my email that ending in .co.il, Yes an Israeli domain.
The Israeli military won't be asking here. They'll just get free servers from Oracle.
Since you are from Israel, maybe they can help you out here.

I don't really care if you're Israeli, I'm more interested in why he thinks you're connected to the Israeli military.
