Summary
Gulfnet Communications Co. WLL
isp legacy
GULFNET-KUWAIT is Gulfnet Communications, a Kuwaiti internet service provider based in Kuwait City.
What it's used for
- Internet access for customers in Kuwait — the roughly 70,000 IPv4 addresses are distributed to subscribers rather than held for the company's own servers.
Notable
- Access-network address space: IPs in this ASN geolocate to Kuwait and behave like end-user connections, which is the usual signature of a national ISP.
- Gulfnet is one of the longer-established names in Kuwaiti internet provision, which is consistent with an AS number in this low range.
Interesting
- Kuwait's early ISPs appear clustered in the low thousands of AS space, from the period when a country's whole commercial internet might be a handful of providers.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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.
