Summary
Universidad del Pais Vasco
education research infrastructure
Two separate incident response teams are registered against one block.
What it's used for
- A university network. A single IPv4
/16announced from Spain, no IPv6, sixty-five thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The one block's registrant list names two incident response teams, one belonging to the university and one to the national research network it connects through.
- The university is named twice in the same field, once in each of two languages.
- The netname is three letters, an acronym of the second of those two names.
- Sixty-five thousand addresses are announced as a single route, with no fragments alongside.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two incident response contacts on one block is unusual and useful. A report about an address here reaches both the university's own team and the wider network's, so nothing depends on one mailbox being read.
- A block this size held by a single university is a marker of early connection, from when address space was granted on request rather than justified by headcount.
- No IPv6 from a research and education network is the finding that sits oddly. These networks were the first to deploy it, and this one has not.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
