Summary
NorteNet
isp eyeball legacy
NorteNet is a Portuguese internet provider, held by G9, S.A.
What it's used for
- Consumer internet access. A sampled address answers as
55-254.dial.nortenet.pt, the naming a provider applies to a pool of dial-in lines.
Notable
- One prefix,
212.13.32.0/19, 8,192 addresses, registered asPT-NORTENET-990302— a date stamp putting the assignment at the 2nd of March 1999. - Seven observed BGP neighbours. For a network with a single
/19that is a lot of separate places to hand traffic to. - No IPv6 announced.
Interesting
- The company in the registry is G9, S.A., while the network, the netname and the domain all say NorteNet. The trading name outlives the corporate one in the routing table, because the netname was written once and the reverse DNS is what customers see.
nortenet.ptreads as "north net", and northern Portugal is where the country's second concentration of population and industry sits, around Porto. Regional providers named after their half of a country were common everywhere in the 1990s, when the economics of leased lines meant a network only reached as far as it could afford to backhaul.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
