Summary

Qatar University

Qatar · AI-generated

education research university

QUNIV is operated by Qatar University.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record imap.qu.edu.qa and netnames such as QA-QU-QATAR-NET-20050504 and QA-QU-QATAR-NET-20131011.
  • The AS announces 8960 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 28 IPv6 prefixes, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a single-site institutional network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic consists of academic and administrative endpoints, including mail services and internal research systems for the university's student and staff population.

Notable

  • All registrants align with the announcer, listing Qatar University and its IT Helpdesk for the major prefixes.
  • The inventory is composed of three distinct IPv4 blocks, including a /19 and two smaller /23 and /24 allocations, reflecting a consolidated but segmented internal estate.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-26, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 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.
