Unclassified ARIN Enterprise
Summary
Province of New Brunswick
government legacy
GNB-ORG is the Province of New Brunswick, the Canadian provincial government, registered in ARIN at 435 Brookside Drive, Fredericton. GNB is the standard abbreviation for the Government of New Brunswick.
What it's used for
- Provincial government networking. RIS observes a single announced prefix,
142.139.0.0/16(65,536 addresses), no IPv6, and exactly one observed neighbour. - A whole
/16behind one upstream is a public-sector enterprise, not a service provider. A network of that address size that sold transit or hosting would peer with many ASes; this one peers with one. The address space is there to number departments, schools, health facilities and civil-service offices, not to serve external customers. - The
/16is registered in ARIN to the Province of New Brunswick underGNB-NET-IPV4-1, so the registrant and the announcer are the same body. There is no third-party or leased-space pattern anywhere in the inventory.
Notable
- The card's classification rests on the holder plus the shape of the announcement, both of which are unambiguous. It does not rest on reverse DNS: the sample taken here returned no PTRs on the two addresses checked, which is a sample of two out of 65,536 and is evidence of nothing at all.
- Addresses in
142.139.0.0/16should be read as Canadian provincial-government space and geolocated to New Brunswick rather than to a generic Canadian carrier.
Interesting
- ARIN dates the ASN to 1999, with the record last updated in 2017. The single-prefix, single-neighbour posture has the look of a long-settled government block that simply has not needed to change.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
