Unclassified RIPE
Summary
dataforest GmbH
hosting cloud germany
DATAFOREST is operated by dataforest GmbH.
What it's used for
- The address space carries hosting and cloud infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
DE-DATAFOREST-20190326and reverse DNS entries likev46389.php-friends.deandrouting-by.as58212.net. - The AS announces 17,664 IPv4 addresses and 34 IPv6 prefixes, maintaining 172 observed neighbours; this high neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a pure access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web hosting, API endpoints, and cloud services for mid-sized companies and startups, consistent with dataforest's business model of tailored hosting and data engineering solutions.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes align with the announcer, listing
dataforest GmbHandDF Abusefor blocks including2.59.132.0/22and176.96.136.0/22. - The address inventory is finely subdivided, with 52 IPv4 prefixes in inventory, reflecting a corporate estate structure with site-by-site segmentation.
- Some prefixes are registered to third parties, such as
Medyabim Datacenterfor185.7.82.0/23andGHOSTnet GmbHfor5.175.161.0/24, indicating leased or partner space within the AS.

Reputation
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
