AS7471 DAREBIN-AS-AU - City of Darebin
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
City of Darebin
government legacy
DAREBIN-AS-AU belongs to the City of Darebin, a local government area in Melbourne's inner north, covering suburbs including Preston, Northcote, Thornbury and Reservoir.
What it's used for
- The council's own network: corporate systems, council offices, libraries and community facilities. It announces two IPv4 /24s and nothing more.
- No public reverse DNS is served on the space, which fits an internal municipal network rather than any public-facing service platform.
Notable
- Local councils holding their own AS number is uncommon anywhere, but a small cluster of Australian municipalities took APNIC resources early and still route their own space.
- A two-/24 network is council-sized, not city-sized: this is the address space an organisation of a few hundred staff needs, not infrastructure for the ~160,000 residents Darebin serves.

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: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-14. 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.
