Summary
Bryhni.com
research hosting business
The handle names two research institutions; the holder is a company named after a domain.
What it's used for
- A small provider's network, announced for a research laboratory. Two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6
/48announced from Norway, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is two institutional contractions joined by a hyphen: one a research laboratory, the other four letters for a network research centre. Neither is the holder.
- The holder is a company whose name is a domain, with the country's two-letter legal form for a public company after it, and that legal form is the same two letters used everywhere else for an autonomous system.
- Both netnames are the country code and the brand with the dot removed; one carries a date and the other does not.
- The first registrant on both blocks is a private individual, with the company and an abuse role after.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A one-person company holding addresses and announcing them for a research institution is a common arrangement in small countries: the technical work sits with someone who already has the registry membership, and the institution buys the service rather than the paperwork.
- Two letters meaning both a company form and an autonomous system in the same field is the kind of collision that makes this data hard to parse automatically and easy to read by eye.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
