Summary
Troy University
education university legacy
TROY-UNIVERSITY is the Autonomous System of Troy University, a public university based in Troy, Alabama, with additional campuses across the state and a large distance-learning programme.
What it's used for
- Campus networking and the university's own internet-facing services. The rDNS confirms the holder directly: hosts in
192.245.165.0/24resolve ontroy.edu, includingtrojanweb.troy.edu, the student and faculty portal named for the university's Trojans.
Notable
- This is an institutional network. Addresses here belong to university-managed hosts, not to subscribers or to hosting customers.
- It is tiny for a university: two
/24s, about 512 addresses, announced through a single BGP neighbour. Troy's campus clients sit behind its provider's addressing, and only a small set of self-hosted public services needs portable space — which is why address count is a poor proxy for the size of an institution.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
