Unclassified RIPE
Summary
General Radio Frequency Centre
government spectrum monitoring russia
The AS handle GRFC-AS is held by Federal Unitary State Enterprise General Radio Freqency Centre.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the General Radio Frequency Centre, a federal state unitary enterprise responsible for radio-frequency engineering, monitoring, and spectrum management for Roskomnadzor.
- The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (194.165.22.0/23) with 0 IPv6 prefixes, and maintains 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, isolated internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal operational systems for spectrum monitoring, frequency coordination, and regulatory compliance functions.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for 194.165.22.0/23 matches the AS holder, with netname GRFC-NET and registrant Federal Unitary State Enterprise General Radio Freqency Centre.
- The address inventory is a single /23 block, consistent with a dedicated internal estate for a specific government agency rather than a commercial or multi-tenant network.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
