Summary
Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM)
education university research legacy
Autonomous System 7038 belongs to the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey — Tec de Monterrey, one of Mexico's largest and most prominent private universities, with campuses across the country.
What it's used for
- The university's campus networks: teaching, research, administration and student services. Reverse DNS on its space resolves under
itesm.mx. - Its prefixes come from
132.254.0.0/16and200.34.0.0/16, both early Mexican allocations.
Notable
- An academic network. Addresses here belong to an institution — labs, lecture halls, offices and campus WiFi — not to a commercial provider's customers.
- Tec de Monterrey was an early node in Mexico's connection to the internet; Mexican universities, rather than telcos, carried the country's first links.
Interesting
- The AS number sits in a range administered by ARIN, but the registration is held at LACNIC — a leftover from the years before Latin America and the Caribbean had a registry of their own.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
