Summary
Max Link Company Ltd
isp residential cable dsl
MAXLINK-AS is operated by Max Link Company Ltd, an Iraqi internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and small business internet traffic, as indicated by the registrant netname
IQ-BAWABET-20180104and the company's description as a provider of "Internet and Communication Services" and "Cable/DSL/ISP" services. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
185.239.177.0/24, comprising 256 addresses, with 0 IPv6 prefixes. - With only 1 observed routing neighbour, the network functions as a local access provider rather than a transit hub, serving end-user connections in Iraq.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs and local web/API endpoints for customers in the Baghdad and Diyala regions.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is
Bawabet Al Manama, which PeeringDB identifies as an alias for Max Link Company, confirming the registrant and announcer are the same entity. - The address inventory is minimal, consisting of a single /24 block, which is typical for a small regional ISP in Iraq.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
