Summary

COMIMSA (Corporación Mexicana de Investigación en Materiales)

Mexico · AI-generated

education research legacy

COMIMSA — Corporación Mexicana de Investigación en Materiales — a Mexican public research centre in the CONACYT system, based in Saltillo, Coahuila. It was created at the end of 1991 from the former Instituto Mexicano de Investigaciones Siderúrgicas.

What it's used for

  • The institute's own campus and research network. Reverse DNS in the space resolves under comimsa.net.mx, with workstation-style hostnames — an institutional network, not connectivity sold to third parties.
  • Announces about 1.3k IPv4 addresses across a few small LACNIC and legacy blocks (200.23.96.0/24 and neighbours, plus 192.100.204.0/24).

Notable

  • Research and academic address space. COMIMSA works on applied metallurgy — materials research, welding, design and manufacturing — and runs postgraduate programmes alongside its industrial laboratory and certification services.
  • Its S.A. de C.V. legal form makes the name read like an ordinary company, but it is a centro público de investigación operating under Mexico's national science council.

Interesting

  • The ASN dates to 1996, only a few years after the institute was founded — early for a Mexican research body to be running its own autonomous system.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
