Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Novosoft razvitie
business hosting infrastructure
All three netnames are the same registry object identifier, in a field meant for a description.
What it's used for
- A software company's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, two and a half thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Every block's netname is the holder's organisation handle, ending in the registry's own name, rather than anything describing the network.
- Because all three carry the identical value, the netname distinguishes nothing at all.
- The registrants are consistent, naming an operations centre and the company itself.
- The holder's name pairs a transliterated word with a corporate abbreviation, so half the name is a translation and half is not.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- An organisation handle in a netname field is a form filled in with the value from the field above it. Nothing validates the shape of a netname, so the mistake survives as long as the registration does.
- Three blocks from three unrelated ranges, none adjacent, means three routing table entries where the network could not merge them even if it wanted to.
- One upstream for a company that builds software for others is worth noting: the network is a place to work from, not a service being sold, and it is only reachable while that one link holds.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
