Unclassified RIPE
Summary
National Information Technologies
government infrastructure business
One netname names a supercomputer; four blocks name no owner at all.
What it's used for
- A state technology company's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Kazakhstan, no IPv6, three thousand addresses, across eight observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three blocks share one netname built from the country code, a word for a banking network and a six-digit date with a two-digit year.
- The other four each have a one-off netname with underscores: one naming a supercomputing facility, one a corporate network, one an investment project, and one a short code.
- Those same four list only an abuse role as registrant, with no company named, so more than half the blocks have no owner in the registry.
- All seven come from one range, split into sizes from a
/22down to four separate/24prefixes. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A banking network name from the nineties now held by a state technology company is a transfer of function written into a field nobody updates. The network changed hands and the label did not.
- Naming a supercomputing facility in a netname is a small disclosure with real value to anyone mapping which addresses matter.
- Routing history first records this network more than a decade after the numbers around it appeared, which means the number is considerably older than its use.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
