Summary
TEKNET
hosting isp legacy
Autonomous System 7768 belongs to TEKNET (Teknet Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.Ş. / Nuh Ahmet Firat), a datacentre and hosting operator based in Antalya, Turkey. The AS number was transferred out of ARIN and into the RIPE region in January 2026, so its earlier ARIN-era holder has no bearing on what it carries today.
What it's used for
- Running TEKNET's Antalya datacentre: colocation, dedicated and virtual servers, cloud hosting and IP transit for customers in the Antalya region.
- Announcing around a dozen
/24s — mostly RIPE space in31.7.32.0/21and185.140.124.0/22— plus a2a0a:9f40::/29IPv6 allocation.
Notable
- Do not read this AS from its old ARIN handle. The worklist name attached to AS7768 in older datasets refers to a previous, unrelated holder; the number was reissued through an inter-RIR transfer and the current organisation is Turkish. This is the difference between a low AS number and an old AS number.
- The RIPE record carries a full BGP community guide naming its upstreams — Superonline, Türk Telekom, NTT and RETN — which is the signature of a real, operating network with paying transit customers, not a paper AS.
- Reverse DNS lands on customer-branded static hostnames (a Turkish business domain on a
static-…name), consistent with hosting and business connectivity rather than a consumer broadband pool.
Interesting
- The IPv6 allocation contains the
babe::andbeef::sub-prefixes — hex wordplay that is common among hosting operators and effectively never seen in corporate or government space.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 440 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.
