Summary

Ministry of Communication

Kuwait · AI-generated

government telecom fixed-line

MOC- is operated by the Ministry of Communication of Kuwait.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries fixed-line telecommunication infrastructure, as indicated by the netname Kuwait and the registrant Ministry Of Communication.
  • The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (193.169.130.0/23) and maintains 1 observed neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained government network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS represents the ministry's own operations, including management of the national fixed-line telecommunication network, postal services, and broadcasting infrastructure.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant Ministry Of Communication aligns directly with the AS handle MOC- and the registry holder moc-kw.
  • The address inventory consists of a single contiguous /23 block, reflecting a compact, internally managed estate typical of a government ministry's direct infrastructure.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-26, 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: 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.
