It would be more useful if there was a way to see sites that actually were using the Cloudflare features that caused this bug. A large number of sites use Cloudflare, but few should have been affected by this bug:

> When the parser was used in combination with three Cloudflare features—e-mail obfuscation, server-side excludes, and Automatic HTTPS Rewrites—it caused Cloudflare edge servers to leak pseudo random memory contents into certain HTTP responses. https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/02/serious-cloudflare-...



As has been mentioned elsewhere on HN, those 3 features were capable of triggering the bug. Once triggered, potentially any Cloudflare-enabled site could have been affected.


You only needed one service triggering the involved module in the CF proxy, and all traffic going through it would be affected, regardless of which feature each account had enabled. This over three months.

I think even CF struggled to find all affected sites - which is proven by the amount of stuff still in google cache, after 7 days of purging. Unless they keep three months of logs listing all sites that used each and every proxy, you cannot be 100% certain of which traffic was affected.
