Summary
DaKnObNET (Antonios A. Chariton)
hosting legacy
AS4601 (DNET) is DaKnObNET, the non-profit network run by Antonios A. Chariton, an engineer based in Greece. It is a personal/experimental network that peers openly and carries its operator's own services and projects.
What it's used for
Self-hosted services and network experimentation. The AS hosts the operator's own infrastructure and projects, and maintains an open peering policy across European exchange points.
Notable
- Small-scale but well connected: DaKnObNET peers with a large number of networks at internet exchanges, which is characteristic of a hobbyist/community AS run by someone who does this professionally.
- The low number is not an early-internet pedigree. AS4601 was transferred into the RIPE region and assigned to its current holder in 2024, so it is a reissued number rather than an original 1990s allocation.
- The operator also runs AS210312, a second DaKnObNET AS.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
