Summary
Africom
isp zimbabwe enterprise converged
The AS handle AINET is held by Africom Pvt Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries enterprise and converged communication services, consistent with the holder's role as a licensed ISP and software services company in Zimbabwe.
- The network announces 4864 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio that indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
