Summary
Fort Hays State University
education university kansas
The AS handle FHSU is operated by Fort Hays State University.
What it's used for
- The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
net119-254.fhsu.eduandnet249-64.fhsu.edu. - The network announces 8448 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an isolated educational institution rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes,
209.114.96.0/19and198.22.249.0/24, are listed as Fort Hays State University, matching the AS holder. - The inventory consists of one large /19 block and one /24 block, representing a standard allocation for a mid-sized public university in Hays, Kansas.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
