Summary
Information Technology Company (DCI)
isp residential eyeball backbone
DCI (DCI-AS), the Information Technology Company of Iran, is a state-run operator that forms the core of Iran's internet, carrying much of the country's consumer traffic.
What it's used for
- Home internet for Iranian consumers and the national data-communications backbone that downstream Iranian ISPs connect through.
Notable
- A large "eyeball" network: addresses here are Iranian end-user connections, commonly behind carrier-grade NAT, not servers.
- State-operated and central to Iran's tightly controlled internet, so it is one of the most-seen origins for Iranian consumer traffic and a common chokepoint during national filtering or shutdowns.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
