Summary
Pipenet Informatics and Securities Bt.
business isp infrastructure
A number from the start of the century that the routing archive did not see until 2020.
What it's used for
- A small informatics and security company's network. One IPv4
/24announced from Hungary, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- First seen in the routing archive far later than its neighbours in the numbering. Almost every number nearby appears at the archive's earliest records; this one waits about two decades before showing up.
- The AS handle is three letters for an autonomous system, a hyphen, then the brand, putting the type before the name where most handles do the reverse.
- The netname is just the brand with nothing attached: no country code, no date, no block range.
- The registrants are the company under its full legal name, including the abbreviated form for a limited partnership, and an abuse contact.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A number issued long ago and announced only recently is the signature of a holding that sat unused. Someone requested it, kept the registration alive, and eventually found a reason to route it, or transferred it to someone who did.
- One upstream on a single block means the announcement exists for control rather than resilience: the addresses stay with the company if the provider changes, which is the usual reason a business this size takes a number at all.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-20, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
