Summary
Bundesrechenzentrum GmbH (BRZ)
government enterprise legacy
Bundesrechenzentrum GmbH (BRZ) is Austria's Federal Computing Centre — the state-owned company that runs IT and datacentre services for the Austrian federal government, from tax and justice systems to the country's e-government portals.
What it's used for
- Hosting and connectivity for federal ministries and agencies. The announced prefixes are registered in the RIPE database to BRZ and to the agencies it serves, all under the same
BRZ-MNTmaintainer:AT-BRZ-*blocks plusAMSNET(Arbeitsmarktservice, the public employment service) andAMA-NET(Agrarmarkt Austria, the agricultural payments agency). - Roughly 6,600 IPv4 addresses across four prefixes and one IPv6 /32 — small, contiguous and single-purpose.
Notable
- The space carries government workloads, not commercial hosting. BRZ is a service provider in form, but everything it announces belongs to the Republic of Austria's administration, which is what the address space should be read as.
- Almost no public rDNS is delegated on the announced ranges, a common posture for state IT estates.
- Only a handful of BGP neighbours: this is a single-site government network buying transit, not a carrier.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, 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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
