Summary

KEMS Zajil Telecom

Kuwait · AI-generated

residential isp kuwait telecom

ZNETAS-KW is operated by KEMS Zajil Telecom, a Kuwaiti telecommunications provider.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business internet traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 80-184-56-64.adsl.kems.net and netnames like KW-ZAJIL-20060710 and KEMS-KW.
  • The AS announces 11,264 IPv4 addresses across 34 prefixes with 24 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an access network serving end-user subscribers rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs, including DSL and fibre connections for residential and corporate customers in Kuwait.

Notable

  • Registrants include Zajil International Telecom Company KSCC, Gulfnet International KEMS LLC, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, and Kuwait Municipality, indicating the AS aggregates space for multiple entities under the Zajil/KEMS umbrella.
  • The address inventory is fragmented into numerous /24 and /23 blocks, with the largest being 80.184.144.0/21, reflecting a historically grown estate with diverse allocation patterns.

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.
