AS37315 CipherWave
Unclassified AFRINIC NSP
Summary
CipherWave
isp business connectivity cloud
CipherWave is operated by CipherWave, a South African Tier 1 ISP.
What it's used for
- The address space carries business connectivity, cloud, and security services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like
102-165-208-0.cipherwave.netand41-87-196-0.vlocity.co.za. - With 41984 IPv4 addresses and 29 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a regional access and business network rather than a pure transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to
Cipherwaveunder netnameORG-CA6-AFRINIC, though one prefix (41.79.108.0/22) is registered toGo2Cloud. - The address inventory is finely subdivided across 12 IPv4 prefixes and 8 IPv6 prefixes, indicating site-by-site segmentation typical of a corporate or multi-site ISP estate.

Reputation
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.
