Summary

Vodacom Mozambique

Mozambique · AI-generated

mobile isp africa telecom

The AS handle VODACOM- is held by Vodacom Mocambique S.A.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries mobile and fixed-line access traffic, evidenced by the netname ORG-VM1-AFRINIC and the registrant Vodacom Mocambique S.A across the majority of announced prefixes.
  • The network announces 67,584 IPv4 addresses across 14 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 10 observed neighbours; this high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants for the largest prefixes, including 197.235.128.0/17 and 41.76.144.0/21, consistently identify Vodacom Mocambique S.A, aligning with the AS holder.
  • The inventory consists of a large block in the 197.235.0.0/16 range, subdivided into multiple /22, /20, and /19 prefixes, alongside a smaller /21 block in 41.76.144.0/21.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
