What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
QA-QP-20120919with registrants listed as "ICT Department; QatarEnergy; Abuse-C Role". - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
185.2.244.0/22(1024 addresses), and one IPv6 prefix,2a02:4440::/32. - With only 2 observed routing neighbours, the low neighbour count relative to the address block indicates an internal corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
