AS3608 KRC-AS-KR-KR - Korea Rural Community Corporation
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC)
government legacy
The network of the Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC-AS-KR), a government-affiliated public corporation in South Korea.
What it's used for
- Corporate and operational networking for KRC, which handles rural and agricultural infrastructure work — irrigation and drainage systems, farmland development, and rural water resource management.
- Internal systems and public-facing services for a public body rather than commercial internet access.
Notable
- Government address space: hosts here belong to a state-affiliated organisation, not to consumers or a hosting provider.
- A relatively small allocation, sized for an agency's own estate rather than for redistribution to customers.
Interesting
- The record now lives under APNIC, having moved out of the original InterNIC-era registry as the Asia-Pacific region took over its own numbering.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-11-02, 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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
