Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Bulinfo
isp hosting business
Two /24s: one the company owns, one it borrows, and the reverse names say which is which.
What it's used for
- A Bulgarian internet and hosting provider. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, nine observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The inventory is
193.194.156.0/24and212.72.195.0/24. - The netnames are
BULINFO-NET, registered to the company, andBG-BULINFO-NET-BLK1, registered to a national telecom's address space administration. - The AS handle embeds its own number:
BULINFO-AS12982. - Three of six sampled addresses returned names, all of the form
212-72-195-64.ip.btc-net.bg.
Interesting
- The block the company owns has no reverse names; the block it borrows has them, generated by the provider under the provider's own domain. That is the arrangement stated in the registry made visible in DNS: whoever holds the space runs the reverse zone, and a customer using provider space appears on the internet under the provider's name whether it wants to or not.
BLK1marks the first block of an expected series, in a netname that is itself borrowed. The numbering belongs to the telecom's internal scheme for tracking what it has assigned to whom.- Putting the AS number inside the handle is redundant, since the number is already the primary key, but it makes the handle unambiguous when it appears in text without context. Very few registrants do it.
- Nine neighbours on 512 addresses is heavy peering for a small provider, and it is the practical reason to run an AS at this size at all.

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: 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.
