Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
AfriNIC
registry nonprofit africa infrastructure
The AS handle AFRINIC-ZA-CPT-AS is held by African Network Information Center - (AfriNIC) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The space carries the operational infrastructure of the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, as indicated by the netname
ORG-AFNC1-AFRINICand the registrant identity. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses within a single /24 prefix and 1 IPv6 prefix, maintaining 4 observed neighbours; this small footprint with limited peering suggests an internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
African Network Information Center - (AfriNIC) Ltdmatches the AS holder, confirming consistent ownership of the address space. - AfriNIC is a non-profit organization that manages Internet number resources for the African continent, providing WHOIS services and technical training.
- The address inventory is minimal, consisting of one IPv4 block and one IPv6 block, which is typical for an administrative body rather than a service 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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
