AS14801 HPU
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Hawaii Pacific University
education enterprise
A three-letter handle and a block whose registration could not be read.
What it's used for
- A private university's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
HPU, the initials of the institution and nothing else. - The whole footprint is
198.199.136.0/24. - The lookup for that block failed, so nothing is known here about how it is registered or what it is named.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Three-letter handles are the shortest form the registry accepts and were handed out when the space of unclaimed initials was still wide open. Holding one is a mark of having registered early rather than of size.
- Universities usually carry more than one block and more than one upstream, because research traffic, campus networks and student housing tend to be separated. A single small prefix on a single path is a much tighter footprint than the sector's norm.
- With the block lookup failed and nothing in the reverse DNS, the AS record is the only source naming this institution, and the card records that gap rather than guessing past it.
- No IPv6 is announced, so the campus reaches the newer half of the internet through somebody else's addresses if at all.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
