AS82

AS82 is a legacy allocation registered under ARIN with a notable three-way naming tangle: the ASName is "OPENTEXT," the registered org is "Attachmate Corp.," and the associated /16 (130.57.0.0/16, NetName ATTACHMATE-INC, RegDate 1988-06-03) is registered to Micro Focus (OrgId MFU-8-Z, Santa Clara, CA). These are not three different operators — they reflect a single corporate lineage: The Wollongong Group → Attachmate → Micro Focus (2014) → OpenText (2023). RFC 1020 and 1990s archives labeled it "TWG-DEMO-AS — The Wollongong Group," an early TCP/IP software vendor (WIN/TCP, Pathway). The ARIN RDAP RegDate is 1986-08-07 (record updated 2024-04-09). It has a small footprint: about 12 IPv4 routes with two peers and two upstreams. For triage, the OPENTEXT/Attachmate/Micro Focus naming reflects acquisitions, not separate networks; treat it as a legacy enterprise-software allocation. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.

A legacy enterprise-software number; the OPENTEXT/Attachmate/Micro Focus naming reflects acquisitions, not three different operators. Handle-vs-org mismatch flag.
