Summary
Woosong University
education university legacy
AS9782 (WOOSONGEDU-KR) is held by Woosong University, a private university in Daejeon, South Korea, known for its Solbridge international business school and its English-taught programmes.
What it's used for
A campus network. RIS sees 18 IPv4 prefixes carrying 8,448 addresses and only 2 BGP neighbours, with no IPv6. The address space is a patchwork rather than a single allocation: a 203.234.8.0/21, a couple of /22s in 210.93 and 203.230, two /23s, and then a long tail of /24s out of 220.68, 220.90, 210.93 and 59.26. That accretion pattern is what you get when an institution takes provider-assigned space from Korean carriers over many years and originates all of it from its own ASN. Two upstreams against eight thousand addresses puts this firmly in the enterprise/education bracket: the network exists to connect the university's own students, staff, labs and public-facing services, not to sell connectivity onward. A transit or hosting operation with the same address count would show an order of magnitude more BGP adjacencies.
Notable
- The Woosong Educational Foundation also operates affiliated colleges in Daejeon; the AS handle (
WOOSONGEDU) is registered to the education body rather than to a single campus. - Eighteen prefixes for 8,448 addresses means the average announcement is smaller than a /23, a fragmented table footprint typical of long-lived Korean campus networks.
- No IPv6 is announced.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,773 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.
