education university research

WCU is the autonomous system for West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by netnames like WCUPA and WCUPA-2 and reverse DNS entries such as park00-backup01.islanublar.wcupa.edu.
  • The AS announces 108032 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as West Chester University of Pennsylvania, aligning perfectly with the AS holder.
  • The inventory consists of a mix of legacy and modern blocks, including a /16, a /17, and several smaller /23 and /24 prefixes, reflecting the growth of the university's network over time.

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.

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.
