Summary
NIIR-RadioNet
isp telecom research
Three addresses answer reverse DNS with the single word unreachable, and no domain after it.
What it's used for
- A telecoms operator's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 block announced from the Russian Federation, five thousand three hundred and seventy-six addresses, across thirty-two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three of nine queried addresses answered, and every answer is the same bare word meaning that a destination cannot be reached, with nothing appended. It is a status message serving as a hostname.
- The holder name joins the initials of a radio research institute to the trading brand with a hyphen, so the operator's parentage is in its name.
- Two netnames use a third brand entirely, one that appears nowhere else in the record, with dates fourteen years apart.
- The third block carries a different company's name and date and is registered to that company alone, with none of the operator's contacts on it.
- The other two list an operations centre, the company under its legal form, and a role for abuse.
Interesting
- A hostname that is really an error string usually comes from a template that was filled with the wrong variable, and once it is in a zone file nobody notices, because the only people who see it are reading somebody else's logs.
- Research institutes spun off commercial networks in many countries once the state stopped funding them. The initials in front of the brand are the part of the organisation that predates the business.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
