Utilizing ASNs for Hunting & Response

Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) function as identifiers for internet routing blocks and can be used to distinguish between trusted and untrusted IP addresses. The Huntress Hunt and Response teams leverage ASN data as part of their threat hunting and incident response workflows.

Why it matters: Security practitioners can use ASN-based filtering to identify and prioritize suspicious traffic sources during hunting and response operations, improving efficiency when investigating potential threats.
