Summary
Athens University of Economics and Business
education university research legacy
The Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB, Οικονομικό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών), Greece's oldest business and economics university, founded 1920. The AS carries the university's campus network.
What it's used for
- Campus connectivity for AUEB's schools, labs and offices. Roughly 4,000 IPv4 addresses across three prefixes with a single BGP neighbour — a stub campus hanging off the Greek research network.
- rDNS resolves entirely under
aueb.gr, and the subdomains map neatly onto the institution:central.aueb.grfor core services (zeus.central.aueb.gr),cs.aueb.grfor computer-science lab machines,decision.aueb.grandeltrun.aueb.grfor departmental and research-lab hosts, andoffices.aueb.grfor administrative desks.
Notable
- Institutional address space, not consumer space. Even the dynamic-looking hosts are named as managed campus pools (
pc20.dhcp19-62.central.aueb.gr) — university DHCP ranges for lab and office machines, not residential broadband. - Part of the small cluster of Greek university ASNs in this range alongside AS8617 (University of the Aegean) and AS8618 (Ionian University), all connected through Greece's national research and technology network.
Interesting
- ELTRUN, the university's e-business research centre, has its own rDNS zone in the space — a reminder that on campus networks, individual research groups are often visible in the naming long after their web presence has moved elsewhere.

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.
