Autonomous system
AS14448 14448
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
High Point University
education enterprise
The handle is the AS number written out again, and the one name published is a test system.
What it's used for
- A university's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
14448, the number itself with no letters attached. - The whole footprint is
192.154.46.0/23, carrying the netnameNET192and registered toVarious Registries (Maintained by ARIN). - One sampled address answers as
testportalcluster.highpoint.edu. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one returned a name.
Interesting
- The registrant is a bookkeeping entry rather than an organisation. It marks space administered on behalf of whoever holds it, so the record confirms the block exists and says nothing about who uses it. The university appears nowhere in the block's registration.
- A handle that is only the number is what gets recorded when nobody supplied one, and it leaves the AS record as unhelpful as the block record.
- The one name published names a test portal cluster. Test systems are where old software, default credentials and forgotten accounts accumulate, and publishing one by name in reverse DNS puts it on every list of things worth trying.
- A single upstream for a whole campus means one link stands between students and everything they use, and 512 addresses means almost all of them share a handful of outward-facing addresses.

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.
