Burkina Faso · AI-generated

isp residential cable dsl

Alink-Faso is operated by Sancfis Faso SA.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries consumer and business connectivity, with PeeringDB classifying the operator as a Cable/DSL/ISP.
  • The AS announces 1792 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • All three announced IPv4 prefixes share the netname ORG-ATF2-AFRINIC and are registered to Sancfis Faso SA, matching the AS holder.
  • The operator was originally established in 2005 as Alink Telecom Faso SA, part of the Alink West Africa group, and later renamed to Sancfis Faso SA.
  • The inventory consists of three contiguous IPv4 blocks and a single /32 IPv6 prefix, with the largest block being 41.223.232.0/22.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
