Summary

SOS-Kinderdorf International

Austria · AI-generated

enterprise business

A children's charity with its own autonomous system and a single block of 256 addresses.

What it's used for

  • The network of an international children's welfare organisation. 256 addresses in the single prefix 195.190.143.0/24, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • The netname is SOS-KD-ORG, an abbreviation of the abbreviation.
  • The block lists the organisation and an abuse role, and nothing else.
  • First observed in the routing archive in January 2003.

Interesting

  • Charities almost never appear in a list of autonomous systems, because running one costs money and attention that a donation-funded organisation has to justify. What makes it worthwhile is address space that survives changing provider, which matters to an organisation whose systems are reached from offices in many countries.
  • The netname compresses a name that was already compressed. SOS stands in for the full name, KD for the second word, and ORG marks the kind of body it is, so three layers of shortening sit in nine characters. This is what registry labels looked like when the field was assumed to be short.
  • One prefix and one neighbour is the smallest independent presence available. Whatever else this organisation runs sits on somebody else's addresses.

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 2026-10-23. 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.
