Core Entity Brief
| Entity | Windhoos B.V. |
|---|---|
| Public role | Analysts track Windhoos B.V. because it controls a publicly routable autonomous system whose prefix announcements can influence internet reachability for downstream networks. Monitoring its registry and routing behaviour is essential for dependency mapping, anomaly detection, and incident attribution, especially given the absence of corporate disclosures that would clarify its intent or stability. |

Windhoos B.V. holds AS210385 and announces IP prefixes; its commercial activities and customer base are not publicly documented.
What It Does
- Visible operating role: Windhoos B.V. operates AS210385, originating IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes and maintaining BGP peerings visible on public routing platforms. Its specific business activities—whether internet transit, hosting, or enterprise networking—are not disclosed publicly.
- Revenue and customer gap: No public evidence establishes a revenue model, customer base, or contract position. Without a company website or public filings, any commercial claims are unsupported.
Operating Snapshot
- Identity baseline: Windhoos B.V. is a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap) that holds and operates Autonomous System AS210385 within the RIPE NCC service region.
- Routing context: The current evidence set does not include a prefix sample; live BGP monitoring reveals the active routing footprint. BGP.Tools shows AS210385 originating prefixes and lists peers, confirming an observable routing presence.
Control Surface
- Internet number resources: The company controls the registration and use of AS210385 and the IP prefixes it announces. Changes to the RIPE NCC organisation object ORG-WB94-RIPE, the ASN record, or the set of announced prefixes directly alter its internet footprint. The only publicly listed contact channel is a telephone number in the RDAP record.
- Monitoring focus: New prefix announcements, withdrawals, or reassigned prefixes attached to AS210385 can significantly change the entity's operational significance.
Watchpoints
- Registry record volatility: Changes to the RIPE organisation object or ASN registration could signal a transfer, misconfiguration, or hijack.
- Footprint expansion: Acquisition of additional ASNs, new prefix announcements, or entry into PeeringDB would indicate a larger operational scale.
