What it's used for

TWAandEUREKANET-PK, and reverse DNS entries such asp133-static0.eurekanet.pkandmail.psca.gop.pk. - With 24,320 IPv4 addresses announced across 40 prefixes and 246 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to address volume indicates a transit and backbone role rather than a pure access network.

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.
