ASN Reputation
ASN reputation assesses whether an Autonomous System Number — the network block announcing an IP range — has a history of hosting abuse, bulletproof providers, or residential versus datacenter traffic. It contextualizes IP verdicts when the same IP moves between benign and hostile ASNs.

How is ASN Reputation related to ASN (Autonomous System Number)?
ASN Reputation and ASN (Autonomous System Number) are both key concepts in threat intelligence.

IP Reputation
IP reputation is a score or classification indicating whether an IP address has been associated with malicious activity. Factors include appearance on blocklists, volume of spam sent, history of port scanning, C2 hosting, and abuse reports.
Bulletproof Hosting
Bulletproof hosting providers ignore abuse complaints and allow criminals to host phishing kits, C2 servers, and malware distribution with minimal takedown response. IPs and domains on bulletproof ASNs receive elevated risk scores in threat intelligence platforms.
