    There’s nothing at all suspicious about the 172.16.0.0/12 address block. It’s a standard block of IP addresses that’s reserved for use on local networks, just like 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16. It’s not a scheme exclusively or primarily used for illicit purposes.

      Correct. However the 172.16.42.0/24 block is the default for a WiFi Pineapple. Any other range is usually ok, but the 42 on a /24 specifically would make me (and most people who actually know what a WiFi Pineapple is) avoid that network.
