AutnumRecord¶

The AutnumRecord asset type in the OWASP Open Asset Model (OAM) represents authoritative registration data for an Autonomous System (AS), as provided by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) via RDAP or legacy WHOIS. This includes ownership and operational metadata related to an Autonomous System Number (ASN)—the numeric identifier used in BGP routing.

Definition: An AutnumRecord contains parsed RDAP registration data about an ASN, including its number, handle, registered name, lifecycle dates, and optional status flags. It also includes the raw source text for auditing or secondary parsing.
Purpose: Modeling AS registration data as a distinct asset allows analysts to pivot from infrastructure to attribution, understand who controls internet routing authority, and detect AS-level behavior changes (e.g., hijacks, acquisitions, multi-homing). It supports graph queries like “which ASNs are linked to a given organization?” or “what netblocks does a registered AS announce?”
Design Choice: Like DomainRecord, the AutnumRecord includes both structured and unstructured fields, preserving original RDAP/WHOIS responses while enabling consistent graph modeling. Fields are optimized for operational monitoring and attribution while remaining tolerant to registry variability.

The AutnumRecord asset type enables attribution, tracking, and auditing of ASNs across the global routing system, serving as a critical bridge between technical infrastructure and organizational ownership.
