Summary

Northern Border University

Saudi Arabia · AI-generated

education university saudi-arabia

NBU is the autonomous system for Northern Border University.

What it's used for

  • The space carries the university's public network, identified by the netname NBU-PUBLIC-Sub-124.
  • The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses within a single /24 prefix (185.250.124.0/24) and maintains 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained campus network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of institutional data for a public university with multiple campuses in the Northern Borders Region of Saudi Arabia, supporting academic and administrative operations.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant Abuse-C Role is consistent with the announcer NORTHERN BORDER UNIVERSITY, confirming the address space is owned by the institution.
  • The address inventory is compact, consisting of a single /24 block, which aligns with the scale of a university network rather than a commercial ISP.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
