Autonomous system
AS12679 ASN-MOL Moscow, Russia
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Sokolov Dmitry Nikolaevich
isp business
An autonomous system held by a named individual, on one /23 registered in September 1999.
What it's used for
- Internet access in Moscow. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The entire inventory is
212.8.224.0/23, netnameRU-DNS-19990922. - The registrant is recorded as a person rather than a company.
- One sampled address of three answered, as
126.225.cli.mol.ru.
Interesting
- Almost every holder in the registry is an organisation. A record naming a private individual as the registrant of routed address space is rare enough to be worth reading twice, and it usually means a network that predates the paperwork: the person who applied in the nineties is still the person on the form.
- The letters in
RU-DNS-19990922match the holder's initials in the Russian order, family name first. That the same three letters also name the Internet's directory service is a coincidence, and a good demonstration that netnames should never be parsed for meaning by anything but a human. climarks the address as a client rather than infrastructure, and the first two labels are the last two octets in reverse order. Two names' worth of scheme for a network of 512 addresses is the work of someone who set it up once, correctly, and left it alone.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-20, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
