Summary
Rochester Institute of Technology
education university research legacy
RIT-ASN is the campus network of the Rochester Institute of Technology, a private university in Rochester, New York.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for RIT — student and staff access, residence halls, teaching labs, and administrative systems.
- Research and academic computing across RIT's engineering, computing, and imaging-science programmes.
Notable
- University address space: an IP here is most likely a campus machine, a lab host, or a student on the campus network — institutional, not commercial or residential.
- The allocation is large, on the order of a
/16plus change, typical of a university given room to grow in the era when campuses received generous blocks. - The number was registered with ARIN in early 1995. RIT's ARIN organisation record was refreshed in 2022, but that is registry housekeeping, not a reassignment of the ASN.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
