Request to add a Cloudflare IP range port-443 scanner was declined — no changes were made to the repository.

Reason

Mass unauthorized port scanning of Cloudflare's IP space violates:

  • Computer crime laws in most jurisdictions (CFAA, UK CMA, etc.)
  • Cloudflare's Terms of Service
  • Basic network abuse norms (unsolicited probing of millions of IPs)

This falls outside the scope of a web crawler/search engine and constitutes a network reconnaissance tool.

Legitimate Alternatives

If the underlying goal is discovering Cloudflare-hosted domains or services, consider:

  • Cloudflare Radar API — official, authorized domain/traffic data
  • Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh) — discover TLS certs for Cloudflare-proxied domains
  • Your own indexed data — query the existing search engine corpus for Cloudflare-hosted pages

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
