Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve | DC0032 Process Creation |
| linux:osquery | event-based | DC0059 File Metadata |
| linux:syslog | cron activity | DC0064 Command Execution |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
ExecutionPath | Path anomalies such as execution from /dev/shm, /tmp, or user home directories |
ParentProcessContext | Unusual lineage such as scripts invoking renamed tools |
TimeWindow | Correlate between file rename and immediate execution |
