Summary

GIG Networks

Norway · AI-generated

isp business legacy

GIG Networks AS (ASN-GIGNETWORKS) is a Norwegian internet provider based in Oslo, operating on the gigbone.net domain.

What it's used for

  • Internet connectivity for Norwegian business customers, on both static and dynamically assigned addresses.
  • Supporting services and a small amount of transit to one downstream network.

Notable

  • The reverse DNS is unusually explicit about the customer type: names run IP-WITH-DASHES.biz.static.gigbone.net and IP-WITH-DASHES.biz.dynamic.gigbone.net. The biz label appears throughout, and no consumer-style pool naming shows up.
  • A small operator: about 5,000 IPv4 addresses in two prefixes, plus an IPv6 /32, with a couple of upstreams.

Interesting

  • The AS number is far lower than the network's size or age would suggest. Treat the low number as a registry artifact rather than evidence of early-internet pedigree — RIPE's created: dates are not allocation dates, and nothing here points to a 1990s origin.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
