Summary
OBIT
business isp legacy
OBIT-AS is the network of OBIT Ltd (ООО «ОБИТ»), a St Petersburg-founded telecom and IT-services operator. OBIT sells connectivity and managed IT to organisations — business centres, retail and shopping complexes, developers, finance and HoReCa — across St Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan and other Russian cities.
What it's used for
- Corporate internet access, VPN/L2 links, telephony and cloud/managed IT for commercial-property tenants and enterprise customers.
- Wholesale/inter-operator traffic; the AS carries roughly 80k IPv4 addresses across ~140 prefixes plus three IPv6 blocks.
Notable
- rDNS is almost entirely generic
IP-DASHED.obit.ru(for example95-161-222-100.obit.ru) with nodsl-,pppoe-ordyn-markers. Where a name is customised it belongs to a business: mail and edge hosts for pharma, logistics and port operators. That inventory backs the company's own positioning — the bulk of its revenue comes from organisations, not households. - OBIT did enter the residential-building market as a secondary line, so a small share of the space may serve apartment blocks; the dominant use is B2B.
Interesting
- The AS number sits in an early-1990s range but RIPE records the current holder's registration in 2005, three years after OBIT was founded — this is a reissued number, not an early-internet allocation.

Reputation
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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
