Summary

Wake Forest University

United States of America · AI-generated

education university research

The AS handle WAKE-FOREST-UNIVERSITY is held by Wake Forest University.

What it's used for

  • The space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the netname WAKE-FOREST and reverse DNS entries like host254.dyn191.wfu.edu.
  • The network announces 65536 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (152.17.0.0/16) with 1 observed neighbour, indicating a self-contained campus network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of academic and research endpoints, including student and faculty devices, administrative systems, and research computing resources within the Winston-Salem, North Carolina campus.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant Wake Forest University matches the AS holder and the netname WAKE-FOREST.
  • The address inventory is a single contiguous /16 block, typical for a large institutional allocation.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
