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.

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.

FieldDescription
EntropyScoreAdjust based on expected entropy of typical outbound data.
ProcessWhitelistExclude known good binaries that generate high network output.
DataRatioThresholdMinimum ratio of bytes_sent to bytes_received.
