Summary
Tilman Schaefers
research academic germany
The AS handle SCHAEFERS is held by Tilman Schaefers.
What it's used for
- The IPv4 space is registered under the netname
DE-CONNECTINGBYTES-20050223with registrant ConnectingBytes GmbH. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix and 6 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 60 observed neighbours; this high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
- PeeringDB classifies the operator as Educational/Research, suggesting the traffic consists of academic or scientific data flows.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced IPv4 prefix is ConnectingBytes GmbH, which differs from the AS holder Tilman Schaefers.
- The address inventory is small and fragmented, consisting of a single /24 IPv4 block and multiple smaller IPv6 allocations.

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 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
