Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Horiba
business corporate japan instruments
HORIBA-NET is the autonomous system for Horiba, Ltd.
What it's used for
- The space carries corporate infrastructure for a precision instrument manufacturer, identified by the netname
HORIBANET-CIDR-BLK-JPacross all announced prefixes. - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of office workers, R&D facilities, and web endpoints for a company that manufactures automotive emission measurement systems, environmental instruments, and medical diagnostic analyzers.
Notable
- Registrants for all prefixes are listed as Japan Network Information Center, consistent with the Japanese corporate holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into three /24 blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation typical of a large internal corporate estate.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-10, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
