Summary
iNES GROUP
isp business legacy
iNES GROUP is a Bucharest internet provider selling access, business connectivity and television.
What it's used for
- Internet access of several kinds at once. Reverse DNS in this space includes
Dialup-Pool.iNES.RO, a block registered under the netnameINES-IPTVfor television service, and per-customer names for business lines.
Notable
- 58 announced IPv4 prefixes for only 43,264 addresses. The space came in small pieces over years, and the date-stamped netnames show the run:
RO-INES-20010820in August 2001, thenRO-INES-20040609,RO-INES-20041011,RO-INES-20051129andRO-INES-20060217. - 181 observed BGP neighbours is a great deal of interconnection for a network this size — well past what carrying its own customers would require.
- One IPv6 allocation,
2a02:2a00::/32. - Part of the space answers in reverse DNS under
digicom.rorather thanines.ro, with names likeCLIENT-89-42-19-255.digicom.roandcompany-net-v502.digicom.ro, so a second brand's naming is live inside these blocks.
Interesting
- One sampled address resolves to
Romcar-FORD.END.Romcar.COM. Romcar was the Ford importer for Romania, and the name has been written into reverse DNS the way static business assignments were labelled before providers automated the whole range — by hand, with the customer's name in it, and left there.

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.
