Summary

Korea, Republic of · AI-generated

business enterprise korea tech

AS18160-AS-KR is operated by Kakao Corp.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, indicated by netnames DAOU-KR and DREAMX-KR registered to IRT-KRNIC-KR.
  • With 5888 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the inventory functions as a self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.

Notable

  • All registrants are IRT-KRNIC-KR, which aligns with the announcer Kakao Corp, indicating direct ownership of the address blocks.
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided into small /22 and /24 blocks, consistent with site-by-site segmentation for a large technology corporation.
  • The netnames DAOU-KR and DREAMX-KR suggest historical or subsidiary-specific allocations within the broader Kakao corporate structure.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
