Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Hopcount Limited
enterprise hosting legacy
AS9327 (HOPCOUNT) is held by Hopcount Limited, a company registered in Auckland, New Zealand. It is one of the smallest networks in this range: RIS sees 3 IPv4 prefixes carrying 768 addresses, no IPv6, and 2 observed BGP neighbours.
What it's used for
Everything about the shape says small self-run network rather than a service provider. Three /24s, two neighbours and no v6 is a footprint one person can hold in their head; there is no customer aggregation, no address growth over time, and no transit role.
The notable detail is a registry-versus-routing mismatch. The ASN is an APNIC resource with a New Zealand registrant, but the three prefixes it originates — 199.212.90.0/24, 199.212.93.0/24 and 205.233.243.0/24 — are legacy ARIN-region space, and geolocation puts the addresses in Europe (chiefly the Netherlands, with a smaller UK share) rather than in New Zealand at all. A cross-RIR spread on a network this small is not the address-broker pattern (that shape needs many scattered blocks registered to unrelated parties); it reads more like an operator who has held these blocks for a long time and now announces them from wherever they happen to host.
Notable
- Public data describes the network as business/hosting rather than access, consistent with the small, static address footprint and the European hosting locations.
- The NZ registration, the ARIN legacy prefixes and the European geolocation all disagree with each other, so do not infer the network's operating country from any one of them.

Internet exchanges
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.
