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 |
|---|---|---|
| NSM:Flow | SPAN or port-mirrored HTTP/S | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
| esxi:shell | /root/.ash_history or /etc/init.d/* | DC0032 Process Creation |
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 |
|---|---|
ShellScriptMatch | Match on commands like `wget https://*`, `curl -s` |
ExternalConnectionFilter | Public IPs or external DNS hostnames |
