What is a black hole as referenced in the following log?

I found this text within a file on my iMac under the name "route", in the sbin. It appears to be an attempt to change my network interface but I'm afraid I can only speculate I've turned to you. could this be an Apple file or perhaps from Time Warner... Or perhaps indeed a malicious code? Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
