Unclassified RIPE Educational/Research
Summary
Ruhr-Universität Bochum
education research university germany
The AS handle RUB-AS is operated by Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
What it's used for
- The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
dhcp254.acn.psy.ruhr-uni-bochum.deandbovm064.itmc.tu-dortmund.de. - The network announces 66,816 IPv4 addresses and 19 IPv6 prefixes against only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes include IRT-DFN-CERT, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, and the RUB Network Operations Center, all consistent with the announcer.
- The inventory includes 192.35.72.0/24 with netname
UNIDO-C72, which is registered to DFN Hostmaster and contains reverse DNS pointing totu-dortmund.de, indicating shared or historical allocation within the German academic network. - The IPv4 inventory consists of three prefixes, including a large /16 block, while the IPv6 space is subdivided into ten distinct prefixes.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
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.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 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.
