AS11382 WRF162 - Wiley Rein LLP
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Wiley Rein LLP
enterprise legacy
WRF162 is Wiley Rein LLP (now trading as Wiley), a Washington, DC law firm best known for telecommunications, government-contracts and regulatory practice. The AS routes the firm's own network — an enterprise, not a provider.
What it's used for
RIS sees a single IPv4 prefix, 162.222.152.0/24 — 256 addresses — no IPv6, and one observed BGP neighbour. That is the smallest routed footprint a network can have and still be in BGP at all. The reason a firm this size holds an AS number is portability and control rather than capacity: it owns its address block outright, so it can move transit providers, sit behind a scrubbing service, or be allow-listed by clients and agencies without renumbering. A single /24 cannot serve subscribers, and one peer rules out any carrier or hosting role.
Notable
The prefix is registered in ARIN as network WILEY-REIN-NET, org Wiley Rein LLP — the registrant is the holder, so this is first-party space with no sign of the third-party-registrant pattern that marks leased or brokered address blocks. The pack found no PTRs on the two addresses it sampled; two probes are a sample and prove nothing about whether the zone is delegated, so nothing is read into it.
Interesting
The handle is an internal code, not a description — WRF162 most plausibly encodes the old firm initials plus the 162 in its prefix. It is a small reminder that ARIN handles are chosen by the holder for the holder's convenience and routinely tell you nothing at all about what the network does.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
