Unclassified ARIN
Summary
South Dakota State Government
government legacy
Autonomous System 7773 (SD-NET) belongs to the State Government of South Dakota — the state's own network, carrying traffic for state agencies rather than for any commercial customer.
What it's used for
- Announcing
164.154.0.0/16, a legacy Class B registered to South Dakota in 1993 under the netnameSD-NET, plus one additional/24. - Serving the state's executive agencies and their public-facing services: government websites, licensing and revenue systems, and the internal connectivity between state offices across South Dakota. State networks of this shape typically also carry K-12 and public-institution traffic under the same umbrella.
Notable
- Reverse DNS across the range resolves under
state.sd.us— for examplestate_hub1.state.sd.us— which is the clearest possible confirmation that the space is operated by the state itself and not delegated out. - This is government address space. IPs here belong to state offices and state systems; they are not eyeball broadband and not hosting, so geolocating them to "South Dakota, government" is meaningful in a way that it would not be for a commercial ISP's pool.
Interesting
- A whole
/16for a state with under a million residents looks generous by modern standards, and it is: allocations in 1993 were made on request rather than on demonstrated need. Many US states hold similarly sized legacy blocks from the same period.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
