Unclassified RIPE Non-Profit
Summary
AFRINIC
registry rir infrastructure non-profit
The AS handle AFRINIC-ZA-JNB-AS is held by African Network Information Center (AfriNIC) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal registry infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
cd.sec.afrinic.netand netnames consistently set toORG-AFNC1-AFRINIC. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 16 observed neighbours; this ratio of modest address inventory to a moderate peer count indicates a dedicated infrastructure network for the registry's operations rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes align with the announcer, identified as African Network Information Center - (AfriNIC) Ltd.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into four distinct IPv4 blocks and three IPv6 prefixes, reflecting the internal segmentation typical of a corporate or institutional estate.
- The AS has been observed in routing tables since 2007, consistent with the long-standing operational history of the regional registry.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
