Summary
Public Authority for Civil Information
government business internal
PACI is the autonomous system for the Public Authority for Civil Information.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under netnames
KW-PACI-20061101andKW-PACI-20160309, with registrants consistently identified as the Public Authority for Civil Information. - The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and maintains a single observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal government operations for Kuwait's civil identification authority, which manages the population register and issues Civil ID cards.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes align with the AS holder, confirming the space is owned and operated by the Public Authority for Civil Information.
- The inventory consists of three /22 blocks, all located in Kuwait, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 2026-11-02, 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: 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.
