Unclassified Spamhaus ASN-DROP RIPE
Summary
Rices Privately owned enterprise
hosting residential business
NTSERVICE-AS is operated by Rices Privately owned enterprise.
What it's used for
- The address space carries a mix of reserved infrastructure and customer endpoints, with reverse DNS showing
ntup.netandntup.networkdomains alongside specific hostnames likemoen.milltech-ltd.co.ukandigorluzganhome.ntup.network. - The network announces 2560 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and maintains 6 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a hosting or access provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS includes web hosting, data center services, and residential or business user connections, as indicated by the diverse PTR records and the operator's classification as a data center/web hosting provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes include Demenin b.v. for
194.38.20.0/22and185.243.96.0/23, while other prefixes are registered to Rices Privately owned enterprise or NT-NOC. - The inventory includes prefixes originally associated with Dutch registrants (Demenin b.v.), suggesting historical acquisition or leasing of address space from European providers.
- The address inventory is fragmented across multiple /24 and /23 blocks, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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 2026-10-16, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain ntup.net)
as controlled by, or hijacked for, cybercrime. Many operators null-route
everything it originates.

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.
