Summary
DALnet
irc non-profit global
DALNET is the autonomous system for DALnet, a long-running Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the DALnet IRC community, as indicated by the netnames
DALNET-2andDALNETregistered to Resilans AB. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes while maintaining 56 observed neighbours, a ratio that suggests a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
Notable
- The registrant for both announced prefixes is Resilans AB, which differs from the AS handle
DALNETbut aligns with the operational entity behind the IRC network. - Secondary sources identify DALnet as a non-profit IRC network started in 1994, distinct from unrelated entities with similar names in other countries.
- The inventory consists of two /24 blocks, 194.14.236.0/24 and 194.68.45.0/24, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 1,771 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.
