Summary

United Arab Emirates · AI-generated

education university uae

AUS is the autonomous system for American University of Sharjah.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university infrastructure, with netnames UNIVERSITY-EMIRNET, AUS, and AUS-EMIRNET associated with the institution.
  • The AS announces 2560 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and maintains a single observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an internal corporate or institutional estate rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of academic network activity, including student and staff access, research endpoints, and administrative services for the university campus.

Notable

  • Registrants for the prefixes are split between American University of Sharjah and ETISALAT Abuse Handling, reflecting the university's reliance on Etisalat for underlying connectivity and abuse management.
  • The inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 blocks, including a /22 and three /23s, all located in the United Arab Emirates.

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: 447 networks and 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
