Unclassified RIPE
Summary
STC
residential isp telecom saudi
The AS handle AWALNET-ASN is held by STC (Saudi Telecom Company), formerly Arabian Internet & Communications Services Co. Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet services, evidenced by netnames such as
AWALNET_ADSLandSA-FAISALIAH. - With 160,256 IPv4 addresses announced across 97 prefixes and only 12 observed neighbours, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes include both
STCSandARABIAN INTERNET & COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES CO.LTD, reflecting the corporate history and rebranding of the operator. - The operator was formerly known as Arabian Internet & Communications Services Company (AICS), which was acquired by Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and rebranded.
- The inventory consists of 97 IPv4 prefixes primarily in the 77.64.0.0/16, 78.93.0.0/16, and 212.0.0.0/8 ranges, along with two IPv6 prefixes.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-10, 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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
