Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Knowledge Path
isp business telecom
A netname that states its year twice, once loose and once inside the full date.
What it's used for
- The network of an Iraqi internet provider and trading company. 768 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, a single observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The inventory is
185.118.128.0/23and185.118.130.0/24. - The /23's netname is
IQ-KNPIT-2015-20150922, containing the year 2015 and then the full date. - The registry lookup for
185.118.130.0/24failed, so nothing here describes that block's record. - Six addresses were sampled and none returned a name.
Interesting
2015-20150922is the year written twice. Somebody had a naming scheme that already included the year, then appended the registry's full date on top of it, and neither the person nor the system noticed the duplication. Netname fields accept anything, so the only quality control is whether the person filling them looks at the result.- The company name covers information technology and general trading in the same legal entity. That combination is common where an internet provider is one line of business among several, and it means the address record describes a company rather than a network.
- All the space is in
185., the range regional registries issued after IPv4 was exhausted. A provider whose entire inventory sits there started operating after the point at which large allocations stopped being available, which is why 768 addresses is what a national-market ISP gets to work with. - One neighbour means everything reaches this network through a single upstream, which for a provider is the arrangement most exposed to that upstream's problems.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
