ASN Information | Autonomous System Intelligence The platform available at https://dash.niamonx.io/asnchecked β€” known as ASN Information β€” is an autonomous system intelligence tool within the NiamonX platform. It allows users to check detailed public information about an Autonomous System Number, including organization profile, country, routing scope, traffic category, IPv4 and IPv6 prefix counts, contact information, abuse contacts, RIR status, owner address, policies, website, and raw ASN metadata. Overview of the Service ASN Information is designed to help analysts, network engineers, SOC teams, infrastructure owners, cybersecurity researchers, and OSINT specialists quickly understand the public profile of an Autonomous System. An Autonomous System, or AS, is a network or group of networks operated under a single routing policy on the Internet. Each AS is identified by an ASN, such as: AS13335 or: 47215 The tool accepts ASN values with or without the AS prefix and returns a structured report containing routing, ownership, policy, contact, traffic, and organization information. ASN Information is useful for network attribution, abuse reporting, infrastructure mapping, threat intelligence enrichment, routing analysis, vendor review, hosting-provider identification, and incident response. πŸ” How the Tool Works When a user enters an ASN, the tool queries public and internal intelligence sources and returns the available ASN profile. The result may include: ASN number Organization name Country code Traffic ratio Traffic volume category Network type IPv4 prefix count IPv6 prefix count Routing scope RIR status Last updated date Abuse contacts General email contacts Website Owner address Peering policy IRR AS-SET Route server information Looking glass information Social media or website links Associated prefixes Raw JSON Data may be aggregated from public routing, RIR, IANA, peering, WHOIS, and organization sources. Because ASN data can come from multiple public datasets, it should be treated as intelligence context and validated before critical decisions. 🧩 What Can Be Checked ASN Information accepts Autonomous System Numbers. Supported input examples: AS47215 47215 The AS prefix is optional. Unsupported input examples: example.com 1.1.1.1 https://example.com AS47215/example For IP addresses, domains, ports, or service-level intelligence, users should use the relevant NiamonX IP or DNS modules. βš™οΈ Interface Structure The ASN Information interface contains several main areas. ASN Input The user enters an Autonomous System Number. Example: AS47215 The tool normalizes the value and performs the lookup. History ASN The interface includes ASN history stored locally in the browser. This allows users to quickly repeat previous ASN checks. Summary The summary card shows the most important ASN profile fields. ASN Info The ASN Info section displays technical routing, policy, and network metadata. Organization The Organization section displays owner-related information such as name, address, country, website, and public organization metadata. Prefixes The Prefixes section lists IPv4 and IPv6 ranges associated with the ASN when available. Raw JSON Raw JSON provides the structured technical response for advanced analysis and integrations. πŸ“Š Summary Section The summary section gives a fast overview of the ASN. Typical fields include: Field Description ASN Autonomous System Number Name Organization or network name Country Country code associated with the ASN Traffic ratio Estimated traffic direction profile Abuse contacts Number of abuse contact emails Email contacts Number of general public email contacts Owner address lines Number of owner address lines available Updated Last profile update timestamp Website Official website, if available Description Short organization or ASN description Example summary format: ASN: AS47215 Name: Example Network GmbH Country: DE Traffic ratio: Mostly Outbound Abuse contacts: 0 Email contacts: 0 Updated: 2024-06-26 04:47:55 Website: https://example.com/ This section is useful for quick triage before reviewing the full technical profile. 🏒 Organization Information The Organization section displays the entity associated with the ASN. Possible fields include: Field Description Name Organization name Name long Extended organization name, if available AKA Alternative names Address Owner address lines City Organization city State State or region Zipcode Postal code Country Country code Website Organization website Social media Public organization links Notes Additional public notes Status Organization status The owner address can help analysts understand the legal or operational entity behind the ASN. However, organization address data may be incomplete, outdated, or formatted differently depending on the source. 🌐 ASN Info Section The ASN Info section contains technical and routing-related metadata. Possible fields include: Field Description info_ipv6 Whether IPv6 information is available info_multicast Whether multicast is indicated info_unicast Whether unicast routing is indicated info_prefixes4 Number of IPv4 prefixes info_prefixes6 Number of IPv6 prefixes info_ratio Traffic direction category info_scope Geographic or routing scope info_traffic Approximate traffic category info_types Network type labels irr_as_set IRR AS-SET value policy_general General peering policy policy_locations Peering location requirement policy_contracts Contract requirement policy_ratio Ratio policy indicator policy_url Policy URL, if available rir_status RIR status rir_status_updated Last RIR status update route_server Route server information looking_glass Looking glass URL, if available website Website URL This information helps users understand how the ASN participates in Internet routing, peering, traffic exchange, and prefix advertisement. πŸ›£οΈ Prefixes The Prefixes section lists network ranges associated with the ASN. Example format: 109.75.176.0/20 141.101.32.0/21 185.13.210.0/23 185.134.240.0/24 Prefixes are useful for: Network attribution Firewall rules Threat intelligence enrichment Asset mapping Provider analysis Routing review Incident response Abuse reporting Infrastructure monitoring Important: prefix lists can change over time. Always validate current route announcements with routing tools, RIR data, or BGP sources when making operational decisions. πŸ“‘ IPv4 and IPv6 Support Indicators ASN Information may show whether IPv4 and IPv6 routing data is available. Example fields: info_prefixes4: 30 info_prefixes6: 5 info_ipv6: true IPv4 Prefix Count Shows how many IPv4 prefixes are associated with the ASN in the returned profile. IPv6 Prefix Count Shows how many IPv6 prefixes are associated with the ASN in the returned profile. IPv6 Indicator Shows whether the ASN has IPv6-related information or support in the returned dataset. These fields are useful for understanding the network’s routing footprint and protocol support. πŸ“ˆ Traffic Ratio The traffic_ratio or info_ratio field describes the estimated direction of network traffic. Example: Mostly Outbound Possible categories may include: Mostly Outbound Mostly Inbound Balanced Heavy Outbound Heavy Inbound Unknown This value is an assessment and should be treated as a routing or peering profile indicator, not as a precise measurement. Interpretation A Mostly Outbound network may primarily send more traffic than it receives. This can be common for hosting providers, content providers, certain infrastructure operators, or networks serving outbound-heavy workloads. A Mostly Inbound network may receive more traffic, which can be common for access networks, eyeball networks, or consumer ISPs. 🌍 Scope and Traffic Category The tool may show routing scope and traffic volume category. Example fields: info_scope: Europe info_traffic: 1-5Gbps Scope Indicates the likely geographic or operational scope of the network. Examples: Europe North America Global Regional Unknown Traffic Category Shows approximate traffic volume category. Examples: 100Mbps-1Gbps 1-5Gbps 5-10Gbps 10-20Gbps 20Gbps+ Unknown These fields are estimates and should not be interpreted as guaranteed real-time bandwidth measurements. 🧾 Contacts ASN Information may display contact counts and contact-related fields. Important contact types: Contact Type Description Abuse contacts Email addresses for abuse reporting Email contacts General public contact emails Contact export Exportable contact information when available Abuse Contacts abuse_contacts are used to report abuse such as spam, phishing, malware, scanning, botnet traffic, or other malicious activity. Example use cases: Reporting malicious traffic Submitting phishing complaints Notifying a network operator about compromised systems Escalating security incidents Abuse desk routing Email Contacts email_contacts may include additional public email addresses for administrative or technical communication. Contact data may be incomplete or missing depending on the source. πŸ›οΈ IANA and RIR Data The tool may include IANA and RIR-related fields. Possible data includes: RIR status RIR status update date IANA assignment status WHOIS-related source fields whois_server when available RIR Status The RIR status indicates whether the ASN profile appears valid or active in the returned registry data. Example: rir_status: ok rir_status_updated: 2024-06-26 04:47:55 Regional Internet Registries include organizations such as RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC. This data is important for attribution, validation, and abuse-reporting workflows. 🀝 Peering and Routing Policy The ASN profile may include policy-related fields. Possible fields: Field Description policy_general General peering policy policy_locations Peering location requirements policy_contracts Contract requirements policy_ratio Whether traffic ratio is considered in policy policy_url URL to public peering policy irr_as_set IRR AS-SET for routing policy route_server Route server participation looking_glass Looking glass system, if available Example: policy_general: Open policy_contracts: Not Required irr_as_set: AS-FILOO These fields are useful for peering research, network operations, IX participation analysis, and BGP routing review. πŸ”Ž IRR AS-SET An IRR AS-SET is a routing registry object that groups ASNs or routes for routing policy purposes. Example: AS-FILOO IRR AS-SET values are useful for: Route filtering Peering configuration BGP policy review Network operations Prefix validation Transit and peering analysis IRR data should be validated because registry objects can become outdated. πŸ”­ Looking Glass A looking glass is a public network diagnostic tool offered by some network operators. It may allow users to check: BGP routes Ping results Traceroute results Route server visibility Peering paths If a looking glass URL is available, the ASN Information tool may show it in the profile. If it is not available, the field may show: β€” 🧬 Raw JSON The tool provides Raw JSON for advanced analysis. Raw JSON may include: ASN profile Organization data Prefix list Contact data Policy fields Peering metadata RIR status Website and social links Routing scope Traffic category Internal status fields Raw JSON is useful for: SOC workflows API-style integrations Case management Evidence preservation Automated enrichment Network inventory systems BGP research Compliance reporting Raw data should be handled carefully when used in investigations or internal reports. πŸ•“ ASN History The tool stores ASN lookup history locally in the browser. History entries may include: ASN value Organization name Country Lookup timestamp Summary fields Local history helps users repeat previous ASN checks and compare recent lookups. Because it is stored locally, it may be cleared when the user clears browser data, switches devices, or uses a different browser profile. On shared devices, users should clear local history if ASN investigations are sensitive. 🧠 Key Features ASN Lookup Checks Autonomous System information by ASN. Optional AS Prefix Accepts ASN values with or without the AS prefix. Organization Profile Displays organization name, website, address, country, and related fields. Country and Scope Shows country code and routing scope. Traffic Ratio Displays estimated traffic direction, such as Mostly Outbound. Prefix Overview Shows IPv4 and IPv6 prefix counts and prefix lists. Contact Parsing Displays abuse contact counts and public email contact counts when available. IANA / RIR Data Includes registry status and update timestamps. Policy Metadata Shows peering and routing policy fields where available. IRR AS-SET Displays routing registry AS-SET information. Contact Export Supports contact export when contact data is available. Raw JSON Provides structured technical output for advanced workflows. ASN History Stores recent ASN checks locally in the browser. πŸ” Common Use Cases ASN Information can support many technical and security workflows. Network Attribution Identify which organization operates an ASN. Abuse Reporting Find abuse contacts or organization information for reporting malicious traffic. Threat Intelligence Enrich suspicious IPs by mapping them to ASN ownership and prefix ranges. SOC Triage Quickly understand whether an alert involves hosting, access, cloud, or network service provider infrastructure. BGP and Routing Research Review prefixes, AS-SET, scope, policy, and traffic ratio. Vendor and Provider Review Understand network providers, hosting companies, and traffic profiles. Infrastructure Mapping Identify IP ranges associated with an organization. Compliance and Risk Review Document ASN ownership and routing metadata for audit workflows. Incident Response Determine who to contact and which prefixes may be related to an incident. ⚠️ Result Interpretation Notes ASN data should be interpreted carefully. Important points: Public ASN data may be incomplete. Contact fields may be missing or outdated. Prefix lists may change over time. Traffic categories are estimates. RIR status does not guarantee current operational behavior. WHOIS and registry data may differ from real-world operations. ASNs can be used by hosting providers, enterprises, ISPs, CDNs, or transit networks. A malicious IP inside an ASN does not mean the ASN owner is malicious. Abuse contacts may be absent even for active networks. Always validate important findings with live BGP, WHOIS, RIR, and provider sources. If a server-side 500 error occurs during lookup, repeat the request. βœ… Recommended Analyst Workflow A practical ASN investigation should follow these steps. 1. Enter the ASN Use either AS47215 or 47215 . 2. Review the Summary Check organization name, country, traffic ratio, contacts, update date, and website. 3. Check Contact Data Look for abuse contacts and public email contacts. 4. Review Organization Details Check address, country, website, and status. 5. Review ASN Info Inspect IPv4 / IPv6 support, prefix counts, traffic category, routing scope, network type, and policy fields. 6. Review Prefixes Use prefix lists for mapping, filtering, or threat intelligence enrichment. 7. Check RIR Status Review registry status and update timestamp. 8. Use Raw JSON Open Raw JSON for deeper technical workflows or export. 9. Correlate With Other Tools Use IP lookup, reverse IP, DNS, BGP, WHOIS, and vulnerability tools for deeper analysis. 10. Validate Before Action Confirm important conclusions before contacting providers, blocking ranges, or publishing reports. πŸ›‘οΈ Security, Privacy & Responsible Use ASN Information is intended for lawful network intelligence, security analysis, routing research, abuse reporting, and infrastructure review. Acceptable use cases include: Checking public ASN information Identifying network ownership Enriching IP intelligence Finding abuse contacts Reviewing prefixes Supporting SOC triage Investigating suspicious infrastructure Researching routing policies Documenting provider information Supporting compliance and incident response Users should follow responsible use principles: Do not harass network operators. Do not assume an ASN owner is responsible for every hosted customer action. Do not block large ASN ranges without careful validation. Do not publish inaccurate attribution based on incomplete data. Validate abuse contacts before escalation. Treat exported data as investigation material. Use the tool only for lawful and ethical analysis. βš™οΈ Technical Highlights ASN lookup tool Available at dash.niamonx.io/asnchecked Accepts ASN with or without AS prefix Displays organization profile Shows country code Shows traffic ratio Shows traffic category Shows network scope Shows network type labels Displays IPv4 prefix count Displays IPv6 prefix count Lists associated prefixes Parses abuse contacts Parses public email contacts Includes IANA / RIR data Shows RIR status and update date Displays owner address Shows website and social links Shows peering policy fields Shows IRR AS-SET Shows route server and looking glass fields when available Supports contact export Supports Raw JSON Stores ASN history locally Suitable for SOC, OSINT, routing research, abuse reporting, threat intelligence, and infrastructure mapping πŸ“Œ Usage Hints The AS prefix is optional.
