ASN-Based Threat Intelligence: The Overlooked Advantage in IP Scoring

If you're serious about IP fraud prevention, you’ve probably heard of threat feeds, blocklists, and proxy detection. But one of the most underutilized sources of signal in the space is ASN-based threat intelligence. It’s not just about identifying an IP — it’s about understanding the behavior of the entire network behind it.

Why ASN Intelligence Matters

An Autonomous System Number (ASN) identifies the network operator behind an IP address. By tracking how entire ASNs behave over time — not just individual IPs — you unlock a deeper layer of threat detection:

• 📊 Identify ASNs that consistently route proxy, VPN, or malicious traffic
• 🔍 Detect botnets or click farms operating within residential ASNs
• 🚨 Flag high-risk infrastructure providers long before specific IPs are blocklisted

Legacy systems miss this entirely. They treat each IP as a silo. But threat actors don’t operate in silos — they use networks. CandycornDB sees the network too.

How CandycornDB Scores ASNs in Real Time

Our engine analyzes live traffic across ASNs, correlating behaviors like:

• Request frequency and velocity anomalies
• Ratio of clean vs. flagged IPs within an ASN
• Behavioral clustering across subnet boundaries

We assign each ASN a dynamic risk profile that’s constantly updated. If an IP belongs to a known abusive ASN or is trending risky within that ASN, CandycornDB factors it into the real-time risk score you receive.

Better Accuracy, Less Noise

This isn’t about being more aggressive — it’s about being smarter. With ASN intelligence, you can block bad actors faster, flag suspicious signups before they happen, and cut down on false positives that cost you users.

CandycornDB doesn’t just score the IP. We score its ecosystem.
