Summary
University of Tasmania
education university research legacy
The University of Tasmania (UTAS), Australia's island-state university, based in Hobart with campuses at Launceston and Burnie.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for the university: staff and student systems, faculty and departmental servers, and research infrastructure across its Tasmanian sites.
- Reverse DNS is thoroughly institutional — gateway and campus-LAN names under
gw.utas.edu.au, IT services hosts underits.utas.edu.au, and departmental machines such as geology systems undergeol.utas.edu.au.
Notable
- An IP here is institutional, not residential — university offices, labs, teaching spaces and servers. Treat it as an education network rather than an eyeball ISP, even though student residences may sit behind it.
- Part of the address space carries names under
tpac.org.au, the Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing, the high-performance computing facility hosted by the university.
Interesting
- The university's upstream is Australia's national research and education network, AARNet (AS7575), which connects the country's universities to each other and internationally.

Classification and threat
Education University, school or national research and education network.
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
