Summary
Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki
education business new-zealand
WITT-AS-AP is operated by Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
SPARKNZwith registrant Spark New Zealand Trading Limited, indicating the IP allocation is held by the national telecommunications provider. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses within a single prefix (210.54.8.0/23) and maintains 2 observed routing neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small, dedicated site connection rather than a large access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of institutional network traffic for a tertiary education provider, including student and staff access to academic resources, administrative systems, and research facilities.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant (Spark New Zealand Trading Limited) differs from the AS holder (Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki), reflecting the standard practice of educational institutions leasing IP space from their primary ISP.
- Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki merged with other institutions to form Te Pūkenga (New Zealand's tertiary education agency) on 1 April 2020, though the AS handle retains the original institutional name.
- The inventory consists of a single contiguous /23 block with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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: 443 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.
