AS33786 KNet
Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
K-Net
nsp ghana telecom datacenter
The AS handle KNet is operated by K-Net, a Ghanaian network service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries K-Net's own infrastructure, as indicated by reverse DNS records pointing to
elifegh.net(e.g.,knet-196-29-231-255.elifegh.net). - With 8192 IPv4 addresses announced across 5 prefixes and only 4 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests an access or regional service provider role rather than a major transit hub.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as
K-Netwith the netnameORG-KA10-AFRINIC, consistent with the AS holder. - K-Net operates a data center in Accra and manages the Government of Ghana's Digital Terrestrial Television Headend.
- The inventory consists of one /20 and four smaller blocks within the 41.75.0.0/16 range, all located in Ghana.

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.
