registry dns infrastructure business

AS-AFILIAS-CTRL2 is operated by Afilias, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries registry and DNS infrastructure, evidenced by netnames AFILIAS-RIPE-NET-2 and IE-AFILIAS-LTD-20140702 and registrants including Afilias TLD Operations and Identity Digital Limited.
  • The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 3 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of backend registry services, DNS resolution, and administrative endpoints for domain name operations.

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer, listing Afilias TLD Operations and Identity Digital Limited for the announced prefixes.
  • Afilias, Inc. was acquired by Donuts Inc. in 2020, and both entities were subsequently rebranded under the Identity Digital umbrella.
  • The inventory consists of two /24 IPv4 blocks and a single /48 IPv6 block, representing a compact corporate 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
