Summary
HKNet Co. Ltd
isp legacy
ASN-HKNET-AP belongs to HKNet Co. Ltd, one of Hong Kong's long-established internet service providers.
What it's used for
- Internet connectivity and related services for customers in Hong Kong, historically weighted toward business and corporate accounts.
- A single small block of address space today, reached through a handful of upstream carriers.
Notable
- HKNet dates back to the mid-1990s, when Hong Kong's commercial internet market was first opening up, and the AS number reflects that era.
- The network is now very small by Hong Kong standards, a reminder that an early AS number says more about when an operator arrived than about how big it became.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
