AS829

AS829 (SUPER48) is an ARIN-registered autonomous system that is active in the RIR registry but currently unrouted — it announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes, so it is not operating as a live network today.

The ASN was registered under the name SUPER48 on 1994-06-01, per ARIN RDAP's top-level autnum registration event. This date is independently corroborated by bgp.tools, which states unprompted that the ASN "has been registered since June 1, 1994." The RDAP record shows a last-updated date of 2026-07-02.

The registrant organization is 915498 Ontario Inc (ARIN org handle 915498-Z), listed with a Richmond Hill, Ontario address. The administrative/technical point of contact, Shafik Hirjee (ARIN handle SH633-ARIN), carries a separate Concord, Ontario address that coincidentally matches the public listing of Super 48 Sales Inc, an unrelated automotive-refinishing products company. No RDAP field cross-references the two names, so this is a plausible naming coincidence only, not a confirmed operator identity.

AS829 is administratively linked to AS830: ARIN RDAP shows both ASNs share the identical registrant organization (915498 Ontario Inc, handle 915498-Z), the identical AS name (SUPER48), and the identical administrative/technical/abuse point of contact (Shafik Hirjee, handle SH633-ARIN) — consistent with a consecutive-block registration to one registrant.

Routing data from RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, bgp.he.net, and bgp.tools independently agree: 0 announced IPv4/IPv6 prefixes, 0 observed BGP peers, 0 upstreams, and a CAIDA customer cone of one ASN (itself) with 0 prefixes and 0 addresses. Its CAIDA AS rank of 79,459 sits near the bottom of the global ranking. No PeeringDB record exists (confirmed live HTTP 404), and no dedicated operator website was found.

RPKI posture cannot be assessed, since AS829 originates no prefixes and therefore has no ROAs to validate. No NANOG discussion, outage report, PeeringDB entry, or operator feedback naming AS829 was found as of 2026-08-07, which is consistent with its unrouted technical status: an ASN with no live announcements has no community-visible routing footprint.

Allocated

1994-06-01 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level registration event; independently corroborated by bgp.tools "registered since June 1, 1994"); RDAP record last updated 2026-07-02 [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/829, https://bgp.tools/as/829

Org status

ARIN RDAP registry status = active; routing status = unrouted / not currently announced in the global BGP table (distinct facts) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/829, https://bgp.tools/as/829

Contacts

admin/tech/abuse POC Shafik Hirjee, ARIN handle SH633-ARIN — RDAP vCard kind is "individual" (the registry's own test for a personal record), so per this repo's personal-contact-detail policy only the name, RIR handle, and city-level location are retained; street address, mailbox, and phone numbers are withheld. The POC's Concord, Ontario location coincidentally matches the public listing of an unrelated company, Super 48 Sales Inc; no RDAP field cross-references the two, so this is a naming/location coincidence only, not a confirmed operator identity [Likely for the coincidence framing; Confirmed for the POC identity and contact-detail scope] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/829

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-06 — not in AbuseIPDB, Spamhaus ASN-DROP, Talos Intelligence, VirusTotal, or NANOG archives; consistent with a dormant, unrouted ASN

Related ASNs

AS830 — shares the same registrant org handle 915498-Z (915498 Ontario Inc), the same AS name SUPER48, and the same administrative/technical/abuse POC handle SH633-ARIN, consistent with a consecutive-block registration by one registrant; AS9829 (BSNL-NIB, India) is a distinct, unrelated ASN explicitly excluded from consideration

Analyst note

AS829 (SUPER48) is RIR-active but completely unrouted, and is administratively linked to AS830 via a shared registrant, AS name, and POC handle (SH633-ARIN). Its admin/tech contact's city-level location (Concord, ON) coincidentally matches a same-named, unrelated automotive-refinishing company (Super 48 Sales Inc); this is an unconfirmed naming coincidence, not a confirmed operator identity. No community corroboration, abuse signal, or public usage record was found as of August 2026.
