AS592

AS592 is a legacy Defense Network Information Center (DNIC) autonomous system registered under ARIN to the Navy Network Information Center (NNIC), a U.S. Department of the Navy organization headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA, with administrative and abuse contact routed through DISA-Columbus in Whitehall, OH. The ARIN RDAP autnum object's top-level registration event dates the allocation to 1990-03-01, with a last-changed timestamp of 2011-07-15; this is a first-party RIR registry fact distinct from the entity-level (registrant/POC) record dates found deeper in the same RDAP response, which reflect unrelated contact-object housekeeping rather than the ASN's own allocation. Operationally, AS592 is dormant: RIPEstat's as-overview flags it as not currently announced, and its routing-status history shows it last originated announcements for 131.121.0.0/16 and 131.122.0.0/16 between August 2000 and February 2003, with no BGP activity observed since. Zero of the 326 IPv4 and zero of the 322 IPv6 RIS peers currently see it, and CAIDA AS Rank places it at 79,459 with a customer cone of a single ASN (itself), zero prefixes, and zero addresses — degree metrics (customer, peer, provider) are all zero. PeeringDB lists AS592 as one of thirteen sibling ASNs under the same NNIC organization record, but the AS592-specific network entry carries no populated peering policy, IRR record, or route-server information. No public abuse, hijack, or threat-feed signal ties to AS592 specifically as of 2026-07-17.

not assessable — rpki-validation was skipped upstream (no prefix supplied) and the ASN has no currently announced prefixes to validate [Unknown]
