AS805

AS805 is a small enterprise autonomous system registered under ARIN to Globe Life Inc., a NYSE-listed insurance holding company headquartered in McKinney, Texas, and it actively announces routes today rather than sitting dormant.

The ASN currently originates four IPv4 prefixes — 12.36.80.0/24 and the 140.235.192.0/22 block (whose two more-specifics, 140.235.193.0/24 and 140.235.194.0/24, are subsets of that /22, not additional address space) — for roughly 1,280 unique IPv4 addresses total. It announces no IPv6 prefixes.

bgp.he.net records two observed BGP sessions, AS7018 (AT&T Enterprises, LLC) and AS3356 (Level 3 Parent, LLC / Lumen); CAIDA's ASN-degree data confirms both as upstream transit (0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers), not settlement-free peering, and no PeeringDB profile or published peering policy was located. Three of the four announced prefixes carry a valid RPKI ROA per bgp.he.net, with no invalid routes detected, though a full per-prefix breakdown via RIPEstat's rpki-validation endpoint was not independently confirmed.

ARIN RDAP's autnum object records a top-level registration (and last-changed) event of 2022-06-14, distinct from several nested entity-level events (individual and organizational POC registrations) in the same record that carry different, earlier dates and were correctly excluded as decoys. The same autnum object's remarks include a "Registration Comments" entry naming the registrant's own site, https://home.globelifeinsurance.com. CAIDA AS-rank for AS805 is 31910, with a customer cone of 1 ASN (itself) spanning the same 4 prefixes and roughly 1,280 addresses, and an ASN degree of 2 (0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers).

Abuse signal

No notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-01 — AS805 does not appear on the Spamhaus ASN-DROP list, and a NANOG mailing-list archive search for "AS805" or "Globe Life" returned zero results.

Coverage gap

Talos and AlienVault OTX endpoints returned HTTP errors when queried directly and were not independently corroborated.

Exposure

Small, low-traffic enterprise footprint (4 prefixes, ~1,280 addresses) typical of corporate office/datacenter connectivity rather than a public hosting or eyeball network, which is generally associated with lower abuse exposure.

Notable CVE

none identified for this ASN or its operator.

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/corporate network (insurance company); not R&E, not an ISP [Likely] — inferred from registrant identity and announced-prefix profile

Size

4 IPv4 prefixes announced (12.36.80.0/24, 140.235.192.0/22, plus two more-specific /24s of that /22); ~1,280 unique IPv4 addresses; 0 IPv6 prefixes [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS805, https://bgp.he.net/AS805

Routing/peering

2 observed BGP sessions — AS7018 (AT&T Enterprises, LLC) and AS3356 (Level 3 Parent, LLC / Lumen) — functioning as upstream transit (CAIDA ASN degree: 0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers), not settlement-free peering; no published peering policy or IXP presence found

[Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS805, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/805

RPKI

3 of 4 announced prefixes carry a valid ROA, 0 invalid, per bgp.he.net; per-prefix RIPEstat rpki-validation breakdown not independently confirmed [Likely] — https://bgp.he.net/AS805

Analyst note

AS805 is an actively-routed small enterprise ASN, not dormant. Corroborated via one successful bgp.he.net fetch (bgp.tools fetch failed with a connection error, noted as a gap). CAIDA AS-rank for AS805 is 31910; customer cone is 1 ASN (itself), 4 prefixes, ~1,280 addresses, with an ASN degree of 2 (0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers), confirming both observed BGP sessions as upstream transit. Community corroboration: no NANOG/Reddit mentions, outage reports, or operator-reputation signal for AS805 or Globe Life were located [Unknown].
