Summary
Qatar Foundation
education research qatar enterprise
The AS handle QATAR-FOUNDATION is held by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.
What it's used for
- The address space carries educational and research infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
CMU-QATAR-NETandvcu-qatar-netalongside the primaryQA-QF-20050504block. - The AS announces 125,952 IPv4 addresses across 20 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 5 observed neighbours, indicating a large internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- Registrants are predominantly consistent with the announcer, listing "Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development" or "Qatar Foundation Role," though one prefix is registered to Texas A&M University.
- The inventory is heavily concentrated in the 86.36.0.0/16 range, with a single /16 block and numerous smaller subdivisions, reflecting site-by-site segmentation for its various campuses and partners.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
