Summary
Arkansas Tech University
education university legacy
ARKANSASTECH is the AS of Arkansas Tech University, a public university in Russellville, Arkansas.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for Arkansas Tech: academic, administrative, and residential-hall connectivity, plus the university's public-facing services.
- Roughly 8,700 IPv4 addresses — the kind of allocation a mid-sized US campus picked up before address scarcity set in.
Notable
- Address space here reads as institutional rather than commercial: student and faculty devices, labs, campus Wi-Fi, and university servers.
- Arkansas Tech's ARIN organization record dates to 1991, well before the commercial internet, which is typical for universities in the low ASN range.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
