ASN Lookup Generator for Splunk
This app provides a generating command asngen, which downloads MaxMind's ASN database (http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/), unzips the contents (in memory), converts each network's address to a string IP compatible with Splunk's CIDR match_type lookups and outputs a table of the results that can be easily put into a lookup.
TA-asngen has a scheduled search which automatically updates the 'asn' lookup daily. It's a standard csv lookup and can be used like so:
... | lookup asn ip AS src_ip
Be aware that the app automatically blacklists replication of the asn lookup to indexers in the search bundle (distsearch.conf), as it's typically around 13MB in size.
N.B. A custom search command was used rather than a scripted input so as to work better with search head clustering and scripted lookup was not used to prevent users from piping search results to the lookup and DoSing the provider.

- Splunk Enterprise 6.3+
Install this app on your search head/s as you would with any other app, then restart Splunk.
If the maximum size of static lookup files has not yet been increased from the default in your environment, you will need to do so by adding a stanza such as this to limits.conf on your search head/s:
[lookup]
max_memtable_bytes=20000000
If use of a proxy is required, please click 'Manage Apps' under the app menu, find TA-asnlookup and click 'Set up', then fill in the details. e.g: https://proxy.example.com:3128
Run the following search to initially populate the asn lookup:
| asngen | table ip asn autonomous_system | outputlookup asn
The lookup will automatically update itself each morning.
