Just saw an article in the Washington Post explaining what went on…

It was a follow up to the Apr 24 and 26 articles…

I don’t have a link without a subscription….

Basically, unused IPv4 addresses from DOD were being transferred to Global Resource  Systems. It was transferred back 
today.This is some pilot program for network resilience by the Pentagon unit Defense Digital Service.

I don’t know if this is a smoke screen or exactly what “they” say it is…
Just trying to fill in the blanks…

Hi, this week it looks like the DoD owned squat space that was previously advertised by AS 8008 (a shadow company 
called Global Resource Systems, see 
https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-government-and-politics-b26ab809d1e9fdb53314f56299399949) is now being 
advertised by AS 749 (DoD Network Information Center).  Does anyone have any idea why this change was made?  Is the 
DoD planning on actually legitimately putting services on the space soon instead of using it as a giant honeypot?  Or 
maybe even selling it?
 
Thanks, 
Rich
