Summary
University of Texas System (THEnet)
education research legacy
The network of the University of Texas System (THENET-AS-3354), which operates THEnet, the Texas Higher Education Network, from the UT System Office of Telecommunication Services.
What it's used for
- Internet access and research networking for education, research and health-care institutions across Texas that subscribe to THEnet.
- Aggregating member campuses into the wider Texas research and education network.
Notable
- Institutional and research-network address space. Users behind it are campuses, medical centres and their staff and students, not retail broadband customers.
- Registered to UT System in 1993, an early allocation from the period when US state higher-education networks were building their own regional backbones.

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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
