Unclassified ARIN
Summary
NCRYPTD LLC
hosting legacy
ABANTU is held by NCRYPTD LLC, a Wilmington, Delaware entity tied to NCRYPTD NET, a small IP transit, connectivity and colocation operator that also runs several RIPE-registered ASNs. The routed footprint here is minimal: an IPv6-only network with a single prefix.
What it's used for
RIS sees no IPv4 at all and exactly one IPv6 prefix, 2602:29f:119::/48, with one observed BGP neighbour. That neighbour is AS37739, Abantu Cloud Africa (Pty) Ltd, which is also the ASN's handle. So the AS is single-homed behind Abantu and the two are evidently related, which explains a name that would otherwise look like an unexplained third party.
What the /48 actually carries is not visible in the evidence. No IPv4 addresses exist to sample, and there is no reverse-DNS or registrant material in the pack to lean on. Given the holder is a transit and colocation provider rather than an end user, hosted or network-infrastructure use is the reasonable reading, but it is an inference from who the operator is, not an observation of the space, and the classification is held at low confidence for that reason.
Notable
The AS number is recycled. Registry data records this ASN as issued in January 2023, so nothing about it dates to the early internet despite the low number. It is also one of the few genuinely IPv6-only autonomous systems in this range: a single /48 and no IPv4 announcement whatsoever.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
