Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
National University of Science and Technology
education university zimbabwe
NUoS-ASN is operated by National University of Science and Technology.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-NUoS1-AFRINICfor the National University of Science and Technology, indicating an institutional network. - The AS announces 8192 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 4 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an on-campus or institutional access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Both announced IPv4 prefixes list the National University of Science and Technology as the registrant, matching the AS holder.
- The inventory consists of two contiguous /20 blocks in the 196.220.0.0/16 range, typical of a single institutional allocation.

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 2026-10-16, 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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
