Summary

Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE)

Mexico · AI-generated

government legacy

Registered as Instituto Federal Electoral, this AS belongs to what is now the Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE) — Mexico's autonomous federal electoral authority, which organises national elections and maintains the country's voter roll and national ID credential. The registry name preserves the institute's pre-2014 title; the network itself has moved on.

What it's used for

  • The institute's own internet-facing systems. The reverse DNS across 200.34.164.0/22 carries both eras of the name side by side: dns.ife.org.mx and gwife1.ife.org.mx alongside election-cycle application hosts on ine.mx, with labels such as pef2021-… (proceso electoral federal 2021).

Notable

  • This is a government network, and a sensitive one: the electoral roll and results-transmission systems it fronts are among the most scrutinised public infrastructure in Mexico.
  • It is small — four /24s, about 1,024 addresses, announced through a single BGP neighbour. Addresses here are institutional hosts, never consumer lines.

Interesting

  • The rDNS is effectively a changelog of Mexican electoral processes: hostnames are stamped with the election they were stood up for, so successive federal and local cycles are still legible in the zone years later.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
