Summary
Marist University
education university research legacy
MARIST is the campus network of Marist University in Poughkeepsie, New York, known as Marist College until it took university status in January 2025.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for a private university: residence halls, classrooms and labs, faculty and staff systems, administration, and Marist's unusually large research-computing estate.
- It announces a single class-B-sized block,
148.100.0.0/16, giving it around 65,000 IPv4 addresses for the campus.
Notable
- An institutional address: an IP here is a campus machine, a lab system or a student connection, not a household and not a hosting customer.
- ARIN's registration for the ASN dates to November 1995, so the campus has run its own autonomous system since the mid-1990s.
Interesting
- Marist sits a few miles from IBM's Poughkeepsie mainframe plant, and the two have run a joint study partnership for decades, starting with an IBM 3090 installed on campus and continuing through current-generation z-series hardware. It has made a mid-sized liberal-arts university into a serious mainframe and Linux-on-Z research site, which is not what a /16 in Poughkeepsie would otherwise suggest.

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 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
