Summary
North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts
government legacy
NCAOC is the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts, the agency that provides administrative and technology services to the state's judicial branch — its trial and appellate courts, clerks of court and magistrates.
What it's used for
A state government agency network. RIS sees 4 IPv4 prefixes totalling 2,048 addresses — four /23s — no IPv6, and 2 observed BGP neighbours. Small, multihomed, and terminal: nothing is being carried for anyone else. The reverse DNS that exists is unambiguously first-party, with 204.152.2.5 answering as tpl-aoc2.nccourts.org, the judiciary's own public domain. The address space serves court systems and the staff who use them: case management, e-filing, and the network reaching courthouses across the state's counties.
Notable
Three registrants appear across four prefixes and all three are consistent with a state agency, not with leased inventory. Two blocks register directly to NCAOC. 68.119.182.0/23 registers to MCNC NCAOC — MCNC is the non-profit that operates North Carolina's research and education backbone and provides connectivity to public institutions in the state, so a joint netname is exactly right. The fourth, 68.119.186.0/23, registers to Charter Communications and its addresses answer under biz.spectrum.com. That is provider-assigned space wearing its upstream's default reverse DNS, a routine arrangement and not evidence of a third party in the network.
Interesting
Judicial-branch agencies frequently run their own AS separately from the state executive's IT department — a network boundary that mirrors the constitutional separation of powers.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-30, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
