Summary
Init Lab
hackerspace regional bg
INITLAB is operated by Init Lab, a hackerspace in Sofia, Bulgaria.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the hackerspace, with netnames
YUHUandInitLaband reverse DNS pointing torev.yuhu.biz. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 16 observed neighbours; this ratio of modest address space to a moderate number of peers suggests a regional network service provider or community network rather than a large transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS consists of members and visitors accessing the hackerspace facilities, including web services, development environments, and community projects hosted on the site.
Notable
- Registrants for the announced prefixes are
Evolinkfor85.14.7.0/24andPacket Scalefor185.117.82.0/24, which differ from the AS holderInit Lab, indicating leased or historically allocated address space. - The inventory is small and focused, consisting of two /24 IPv4 blocks and a single /48 IPv6 block, all located in Bulgaria.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
