Unclassified ARIN
Summary
American Red Cross
enterprise legacy
REDCROSS-ASN is the network of the American Red Cross, the US humanitarian organisation, registered from its Falls Church, Virginia offices.
What it's used for
- Enterprise networking for the Red Cross: national headquarters, regional chapters, blood-services operations and disaster-response infrastructure.
- Announces a contiguous run of prefixes drawn from
162.6.0.0/16, with reverse DNS in the formhost-224-5.redcross.org— organisation-owned hosts, not subscriber pools.
Notable
- A non-profit with its own AS number and a full complement of address space is unusual; it reflects an organisation that has run nationwide, always-on networking (blood supply logistics, emergency response) for decades.
- Despite the low AS number, the traffic profile here is ordinary corporate networking — offices, servers, and site-to-site links.
Interesting
- The ARIN registration dates to 1996, placing the Red Cross among the earlier non-governmental organisations to take an autonomous system of its own.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
