The manual method for determining the ASN of a network involves the following steps:
- Identify the IP address of the network you want to look up.
- Visit a public whois database, such as https://whois.arin.net/ or http://ipwhois.io/.
- Enter the IP address in the search bar.
- Look for the "AS" field in the results.
- The number listed in the "AS" field is the ASN of the network.
