Summary
AMA netwoRX GmbH
transit legacy
AMANET-AS belongs to AMA netwoRX GmbH, a network service provider registered in Glödnitz, Carinthia, and licensed with Austria's regulator RTR. Despite the small address footprint it is a carrier: PeeringDB lists it as an NSP with a European scope, and RIS observes roughly 108 BGP neighbours against fewer than 8,000 IPv4 addresses.
What it's used for
Wholesale transit and interconnection for Austrian and regional networks, with some directly-served fibre customers on the side. The neighbour-to-address ratio is the giveaway: an operator this small in address terms with a peer count in the hundreds is selling connectivity, not consuming it.
The sampled reverse DNS shows both roles. lo666.rt01.vie.ama-networx.net is the operator's own router loopback in Vienna. rt.kelag-connect.at is a router belonging to KELAG, the Carinthian energy utility's telecoms arm. And 1-91-227-185.fiber4yout.at / 0-89-227-185.fiber4you.at are reversed-octet end-customer pools under the fiber4you Austrian FTTH brand.
Notable
- The inventory looks scattered (sixteen prefixes spread across
185.x,45.155.x,146.19.x,37.186.xand older19xblocks) but it is single-RIR RIPE space carrying coherent first-party and downstream Austrian rDNS. This is an acquisitive small carrier, not an address broker. - Downstream customer brands appear in the rDNS of space this AS originates, which is what a transit provider's inventory looks like from the outside.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
