AS7406 PDX-DC - B&R Auto
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
B&R Auto Wrecking
enterprise legacy
Registered as PDX-DC, which reads like a Portland data centre — but the holder is B&R Auto Wrecking, a family-owned auto-recycling and used-parts business headquartered in Corvallis, Oregon. Both the organisation record and the ASN registration date to January 2015, so this low number was reissued to a modern holder.
What it's used for
- Corporate networking for a multi-site auto-salvage company that operates yards across several western US states.
- Announces two /24s —
50.216.166.0/24and50.207.166.0/24— both of which sit inside Comcast Cable's address space, so this is a business customer routing carrier-assigned blocks under its own ASN, most likely to multihome.
Notable
- Enterprise address space, not hosting: 512 addresses total, no customer-facing or subscriber reverse DNS.
- A clean example of why an ASN name should never be trusted on its own.
PDX-DCsuggests infrastructure; the registrant contact handle traces back to the company's founding family.
Interesting
- The low AS number carries no early-internet pedigree here — it was assigned fresh in 2015 after the original holder gave it up.

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: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
