The Autonomous System (AS) number 21193, AS21193, is owned by XARXA A.C.P., also known as Associacio PuntCAT. The organization is responsible for managing the .cat top-level domain, which is intended for the Catalan linguistic and cultural community.

Main Operational Activity of AS21193's Owner

The main operational activity of XARXA A.C.P. involves domain registration services and overall management of the .cat TLD. They ensure that this TLD serves the interests of the Catalan-speaking community by providing a digital space for promoting their language and culture on the internet.

Establishment of AS21193

The specific establishment date of AS21193 is not easily available in public records, but it has been operational as part of XARXA A.C.P.'s infrastructure for several years, serving the needs of the .cat domain registrants and users.

Malicious Use of AS21193

Like many Autonomous Systems, AS21193 could potentially be used by hackers or spammers with malicious intent. However, there is no specific widely-known evidence to suggest that AS21193 has been frequently used for such activities. Organizations like CleanTalk provide databases that track the activity of different AS numbers to monitor for spam or other malicious behavior.

As of my last update, CleanTalk's database does not provide detailed information about AS21193 being involved in any malicious activities. This might indicate that either there has been no significant abuse coming from this AS, or it has been effectively managed and mitigated by the owner. It is important for network administrators and operators of AS21193 to maintain strong security measures to prevent any potential abuse.
