AS5598 NETLUX-AS
Residential RIPE
Summary
Netlux (TRK Nadezhda), Taganrog
isp legacy
NETLUX-AS is the network of Netlux (netlux.org), a cable television and internet provider serving Taganrog in Russia's Rostov Region. The RIPE object is registered to an individual, Anton Bobrovnikov, with the service itself operated under the Teleradiocompany Nadezhda name.
What it's used for
Residential broadband and cable-TV subscribers in a single city. The AS announces one contiguous /19 (about 8,000 addresses) out of 176.101.96.0/19, split into two /20s — a typical shape for a local last-mile operator.
Notable
This is eyeball space: the addresses behind it are homes, not servers. Traffic patterns, reputation and geolocation should all be read as consumer access concentrated in and around Taganrog, and the whole footprint fits inside a single announced block.
Interesting
The holder record is a personal name rather than a company, which is legal under RIPE but unusual for an operator of this size. It is a reminder that org type in the registry says little about the scale or nature of the network behind it.

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 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 2026-10-20. 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.
