Unclassified RIPE
Summary
JSC Scientific and Technical Center Atlas
defense government business infrastructure
ATLAS is operated by JSC Scientific and Technical Center Atlas.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
FGUP_NTC_ATLASand registrant "Technical Department and NOC; IT Department". - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix (178.237.206.0/24) comprising 256 addresses with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic consists of internal communications for a Russian enterprise that researches, develops, and manufactures secure information and communication equipment for the defence sector.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant "Technical Department and NOC; IT Department" aligns with the announcer JSC Scientific and Technical Center Atlas, confirming internal ownership.
- The address inventory is minimal, consisting of a single /24 block, which fits the profile of a specialized industrial or defense facility with limited public-facing internet presence.

Interconnection

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 2026-10-20, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
