Summary
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Saudi Arabia)
government ministry saudi-arabia
The AS handle MOFA is held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia.
What it's used for
- The address space carries government infrastructure, evidenced by netnames
MOFA-SAand registrants explicitly listing "Ministry of Foreign Affairs". - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained government network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of diplomatic and administrative communications for the Saudi government's foreign policy operations.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, with both prefixes registered to "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" or "MOFA ROLE".
- The address inventory is compact, consisting of two /24 blocks (91.198.251.0/24 and 195.47.234.0/24) with no IPv6 prefixes in inventory.

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 2026-10-18, 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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
