AS10023 TERRYCREWS-AS-AP Terry Crews

TERRYCREWS-AS-AP is a legacy APNIC allocation registered to Terry Crews — an Australian telecommunications engineer, registered at an address in Bittern, Victoria. He is not the American actor and America's Got Talent host of the same name; this is a pure name collision, and the resemblance is the single most likely thing to get this ASN mis-catalogued.

What it's used for

Not determinable from the available evidence, and this card will not guess. The AS announces 3 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,280 addresses — 202.86.48.0/22 with a more-specific /24 punched out of it, plus 203.22.251.0/24 — and one IPv6 /32 (2404:9700::/32). The prefixes are ALLOCATED PORTABLE APNIC space of the kind handed out in the 1990s and early 2000s and held ever since.

Notable

One observed BGP neighbour. That is a single-homed leaf: whatever is here reaches the internet through exactly one upstream and peers with nobody. Combined with 1,280 addresses, that rules out any carrier, hosting or eyeball role of consequence. What it does not tell you is what the space carries, and no sampled address returned a PTR — which is a sample, not a finding, and no inference about posture or emptiness should be drawn from it.

Interesting

Registrant contact details tie the holder to Gabriel Health, a neuroadaptive mental-health technology venture, and the registrant's professional history runs through GEC, Olivetti, Optus and Commonwealth Bank. A personally-held portable allocation with its own IPv6 /32 is an artefact of an era when an individual engineer could get one. Classified other, low confidence: the holder is identified, the current use is not.
