Unclassified RIPE Non-Profit
Summary
AS250.net Foundation
transit legacy
The AS250.net Foundation (SACREDCHAO-AS), a non-commercial, community-run network in the RIPE region.
What it's used for
- Community and hobbyist networking, providing BGP connectivity and IPv6 to members rather than operating as a commercial ISP.
Notable
- A non-profit / community network holding a legacy RIPE allocation, not a government or university one.
- The low AS number reflects an early RIPE-region allocation.
Interesting
- The
SACREDCHAOhandle nods to the Discordian "Sacred Chao" symbol, a bit of hacker-culture whimsy in the registry.

Reputation
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: 436 networks and 1,769 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
