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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=3, 22 | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | 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 |
|---|---|
TimeWindow | Bandwidth anomalies should be assessed over 5-15 min or hourly windows depending on environment size. |
DestinationCountry | Some organizations whitelist traffic to countries based on geolocation. |
ProcessName | Legitimate processes using high bandwidth (e.g., backup tools) must be excluded. |
