This endpoint requires access to Account & Session Takeover Prevention (ASTP). Please contact your Customer Success Manager for more details.
Flare’s Leaked Cookies API allows for searching in cookies matching your domains found in stealer logs. Integrators may use this API to identify and invalidate sessions before they are taken over. This will guide will explain how to use the Leaked Cookies API to monitor for newly found cookies and invalidate their session.

​
Prequisites

  • Cookie monitoring must be enabled for your tenant. This feature must be activated by Flare Support.
  • Access to a mechanism by which you may verify a cookie’s validity.
  • Access to a mechanism by which you may invalidate a cookie.

​
Steps

1

Fetch one page of results

Use the cookies/_search endpoint to fetch one page of results.If next is missing from the response (or is null), this means that you viewed all pages.
2

Verify and Invalidate

Loop over the response’s items to verify the cookie’s validity and invalidate the cookie.
3

Ratelimit and go to step 1

Wait one second to avoid going over the API rate limit. Then, go back to step 1 to fetch the next page.

Full Project Template

Flare maintains a full project example on Github: It can serve as a starting point to implement automated session revocation in your organization.

End-to-End API Example

This is an end-to-end example in Python.
