Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Tose Masiryabi Shabake Aria
isp business
An entire autonomous system existing to announce one /24 through one neighbour.
What it's used for
- Announcing a single network in Iran. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole inventory is
46.249.96.0/24, netnameTOSE-MASIRYABI-SHABAKE-ARIA. - The AS handle is
PARSUN-SINDAD-ANCHOR, naming two organisations that appear nowhere in the registry record. - First observed in the routing archive in October 2015.
- Three sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
- 256 addresses and one upstream is the smallest configuration that still requires an AS number at all. A network this size could be announced by its provider for free; getting its own number costs paperwork and an annual fee, and buys exactly one thing, which is the ability to change provider without renumbering.
- The handle names two companies and the word
anchor. An anchor announcement is one made to hold a prefix visible in the routing table, often so that more specific routes elsewhere have something to fall back to. Reading it that way is a guess; what the record shows for certain is that three names attach to 256 addresses. - October 2015 is a real first-seen date rather than the floor of the archive, so this network genuinely appeared then. That places it among the youngest entries in this stretch of the number range, on an AS number issued long before it.

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 2026-11-01. 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.
