Summary
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)
education university research legacy
UAB-AS is the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a large public research university and academic medical centre.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for the university: teaching, residential, and administrative systems, plus its public-facing web presence.
- Research and health-sciences computing, which at UAB is a substantial part of the institution's workload.
Notable
- Institutional academic address space with a large announced footprint, consistent with a major research university that also runs a hospital and medical school.
- Traffic from this range is students, faculty, clinicians, and university servers, not consumer broadband.
Interesting
- UAB is one of Alabama's largest employers, largely because the university and its health system are a single institution. The network carries both an academic and a clinical load.

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: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
