Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Ghana Government (Ministry of Communications)
government nsp ghana ministry
GGoC1-AS is operated by Ghana Government (Ministry of Communications).
What it's used for
- The address space carries government infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
dhcp2255.nita.gov.ghand the consistent netnameORG-GGoC1-AFRINICacross all prefixes. - The AS announces 16384 IPv4 addresses across 21 prefixes while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of a regional network service provider (NSP) rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants in the RDAP data align with the announcer, consistently listing "Ghana Government (Ministry of Communications)" for every prefix.
- The operator is also known as NITA (National Information Technology Agency), as indicated by the PeeringDB alias and the
.gov.ghdomain in the reverse DNS sample. - The inventory consists entirely of IPv4 space within the 197.253.0.0/16 range, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
