Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Hyperneph
hosting legacy
HYPERNEPH is Hyperneph Ltd, a London-based cloud storage and hosting company (registered address 91 Brick Lane).
What it's used for
A small hosting / cloud network. The AS announces 3–4 /24s (~768 addresses) but shows a disproportionately high ~69 observed BGP neighbours for that size, implying significant peering relative to its tiny address footprint. No PTRs resolved on the addresses sampled.
Notable
- Hyperneph Software Limited (a majority-owned subsidiary of Catenae Innovation PLC) reportedly ceased trading around September 2022, though the parent company remains registered as active at Companies House and the AS is still announced.
- The many peers on so little address space is unusual for pure hosting and suggests the AS is also used for interconnection at UK exchanges.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
