Summary
Centrum Obsługi Administracji Rządowej
government legacy
CUW-AS is held by the Centrum Obsługi Administracji Rządowej — the Government Administration Service Centre, a Polish state budgetary institution in Warsaw that provides shared IT, procurement and facilities services to central-government bodies. The handle CUW comes from its former name, Centrum Usług Wspólnych (Shared Services Centre).
What it's used for
- Hosting and connectivity for Polish central-government services. The rDNS on its single
/24is entirely inside.gov.pl:cokprm1.cokprm.gov.pland similar hosts belong to the service centre of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, alongsidedns1.centrum.gov.plandckp.gov.pl. - 256 IPv4 addresses on one prefix, two BGP neighbours, no customers. Small, but the addresses front real state infrastructure.
Notable
- Classified by what the space carries, not what the holder's legal form is. "Instytucja Gospodarki Budżetowej" is a self-financing state entity that looks vaguely commercial on paper; the rDNS says
.gov.pland that settles it. - A shared-services agency is exactly the kind of holder whose small address block matters out of proportion to its size, because several ministries' public-facing services can sit behind it.
Interesting
- Poland has repeatedly reorganised its government shared-services provider, and the AS handle still carries the abbreviation of an earlier incarnation. The registry object is a fossil record of the last reorganisation.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-15, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
