Are you referring to https://asn.cymru.com/nsp-sec/ ?

It takes a file of just Ips, no ASN formatting necessary.  This is the
format one would use to send to whois.cymru.com manually.

# cat asn-2008-09-30.txt | awk -F \| '{print $2}' | sort | uniq | wc -l
  551575

Looks like the file has 200K of IP Dups.  Taking the Ips out of the file,
uniquing them and uploading them to the web page should do the trick.

# cat asn-2008-09-30.txt | awk -F \| '{print $2}' | sort | uniq >
/tmp/asn.txt

# du -h /tmp/asn.txt
10.0M   /tmp/asn.txt

The upload limit has been raised to 15MB which should do the trick. FYI
timestamps are ideal and they are supported as a second field in the data
after the IP.  Be warned, this takes a bit to process once the file is
uploaded.

Actually, it might be too big of a file for it to process in a reasonable
length of time.  Your mileage may vary as to how large of a file to upload
and how long it takes to get a fully formatted response...

For really large datasets such as this one, generally I recommend splitting
the IPs up after processing into individual text files, one per ASN so that
each person doesn't have to download the full list for their ASNs.  This is
a feature not yet added to the GUI.
