Summary
GORayNet (RayNet)
isp hosting legacy
AS9853 (RAYNET-AS-KR) is held by GORayNet (지오레이넷, trading as RayNet, raynet.co.kr), a small South Korean internet service provider based in the Gasan Digital Complex in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul. It is one of at least three ASNs the company operates, alongside AS9862 (RAYNET1).
What it's used for
The routing evidence describes a modest, single-homed access provider rather than a carrier. RIS sees 16 IPv4 prefixes totalling 4,096 addresses, all of them individual /24s, with no IPv6 announced at all. The address space is drawn from two KRNIC ranges, 211.238.x and 211.111.x. Most tellingly, only one BGP neighbour is observed: everything this AS reaches, it reaches through a single upstream. A wholesale or transit business would show peering with hundreds of other networks; a network with one upstream and sixteen /24s is buying connectivity, not selling it onward at scale.
That shape is consistent with what RayNet describes itself as doing: selling dedicated internet lines and in-building network service to businesses and office towers, the kind of operator that resells capacity from a larger Korean carrier into tenants and small-business customers. The /24-by-/24 fragmentation of the announcement is typical of space handed out to end customers in small allocations over many years.
Notable
- Registered as a Korean ISP; the company has held the
211.238.32.0/19region of KRNIC space since the early 2000s. - Runs multiple ASNs (
RAYNET-AS,RAYNET1, andRAYNET2) despite its small overall footprint. - No IPv6 deployment is visible in the routing table.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
