Summary

Khalifa University

United Arab Emirates · AI-generated

education research university

The AS handle AE-ANKABUT is held by Khalifa University.

What it's used for

  • The space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the netname AE-ANKABUT and registrant Khalifa University.
  • The inventory consists of 256 IPv4 addresses in a single /24 prefix (91.212.53.0/24) with 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained institutional network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.

Notable

  • The registrant Khalifa University aligns directly with the AS holder and the netname.
  • Ankabut, the UAE’s Advanced National Cybersecurity Center, is located at Khalifa University and partners with the institution on emerging technology.
  • The address inventory is minimal, comprising only one IPv4 prefix with no announced IPv6 space.

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 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
