Summary

Kuwait Airways

Kuwait · AI-generated

airline government corporate

The AS handle KAC is held by Kuwait Airways, the flag carrier of Kuwait.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries corporate network traffic, indicated by the netnames KAC-NCC and KAC-NCC-2 and the reverse DNS entry host-128.gulfnet.com.kw.
  • The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS represents the airline's internal IT infrastructure, supporting operations across its global stations and office locations.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Abuse-C Role, which does not provide specific organizational identity beyond the netnames.
  • The address inventory is a contiguous block within the 83.68.160.0/22 range, subdivided into four prefixes.
  • The reverse DNS sample shows a single PTR record pointing to gulfnet.com.kw, suggesting the use of a local Kuwaiti ISP for connectivity.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
