Summary
Gdansk University of Technology (CI TASK)
education university research legacy
TASK-AS belongs to the Academic Computer Centre TASK at Gdansk University of Technology (Politechnika Gdanska). TASK runs the Tricity academic network serving the universities and research institutes of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot.
What it's used for
- Campus and metropolitan connectivity for Gdansk-area academic institutions, plus TASK's own high-performance computing and storage services.
- Upstream reach is via Poland's national research network, so the AS behaves as an academic MAN rather than a commercial ISP.
Notable
- The address space is a large, contiguous university-scale block rather than the fragmented inventory typical of a reseller, which is the usual signature of an early academic allocation.
- CI TASK is a supercomputing centre as well as a network operator, so a share of the space sits behind HPC and research services rather than end-user desktops.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
