Summary

United States of America · AI-generated

education university research

The AS handle UKYEDU is operated by University of Kentucky.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the netname UKY and reverse DNS entries like mrisc-d79-hub01.net.uky.edu.
  • The inventory includes 131072 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating an access or eyeball network role rather than transit.

Notable

  • Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to University of Kentucky under the netname UKY.
  • One prefix, 168.111.0.0/16, is registered to KY Authority for Educational Television with the netname KET, and 162.242.39.0/24 is registered to WhiteSky Communications, LLC. with the netname WTSKY-25.
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided within the 128.163.0.0/17 block, suggesting internal segmentation for different university departments or services.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation

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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
