Summary
Global Investment House
business corporate kuwait
GIH-AS is operated by Global Investment House K.S.C.C.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
mx.global.com.kwand the netnameGIHregistered to the holder. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, isolated corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate communications and web services for the investment firm, including mail exchange traffic.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer for the
193.109.215.0/24prefix, while the168.187.141.0/24prefix is registered to Gulfnet International KEMS LLC, suggesting a leased or historically allocated block. - The inventory consists of two distinct /24 blocks, one associated with the primary registrant and one with a third-party telecom entity.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
