About this ASN.
AS120 is a legacy summer-1987 allocation registered under ARIN to The MITRE Corporation, carrying the handle "MITRE-OMAHA" — a not-for-profit that operates federally funded research-and-development centers (FFRDCs) for U.S. government sponsors. The "OMAHA" handle historically points to MITRE's Omaha, Nebraska presence supporting U.S. Strategic Command / Offutt AFB work. MITRE's primary current routing runs on other ASNs — AS64 (MITRE-AS-2, allocated 1986-03-04, profiled earlier in this sweep) and AS5691 (MITRE-AS-5, allocated 1995-08-24) — and AS120 itself appears dormant, showing no peers/upstreams/downstreams in routing data (hence confidence Medium pending a direct table snapshot). The ARIN RDAP RegDate is 1987-08-04 (Confirmed); note that IPinfo shows a 0000-00-00 placeholder, which is not a real date. For triage this is an old institutional/FFRDC allocation encountered mainly in historical registry research rather than live traffic. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
