The AS handle RASH-AS is held by RASH - Rrjeti Akademik Shqiptar.
What it's used for
- The address space carries academic and research traffic, as indicated by the registrant name "RASH - Rrjeti Akademik Shqiptar" and netnames
AL-ANA-AL-20120228andAL-ANA-AL-20140711. - The AS announces 2816 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes and 16 IPv6 prefixes, with 6 observed neighbours, indicating a role as a national research and education network (NREN) connecting institutions rather than a large-scale consumer access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web, API, and research endpoints for Albanian universities and research institutions, supporting the national academic infrastructure.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced prefixes consistently identify "RASH - Rrjeti Akademik Shqiptar" and "RASH NOC", aligning perfectly with the AS holder.
- RASH was established in 2007 under an intergovernmental agreement between Albania and Italy to serve as the National Research and Education Network.
- The inventory includes both IPv4 blocks in the 37.139.0.0/16 and 185.63.0.0/16 ranges, along with a substantial IPv6 allocation under 2a00:9f40::/40.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
