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 |
| auditd:SYSCALL | openat | DC0055 File Access |
| linux:osquery | Process State | DC0035 Process Access |
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 |
|---|---|
AccessedPath | Filter based on suspicious /proc directory enumeration or high-volume ls/readlink usage |
UserContext | Helps tune for root vs. low-priv users during interactive vs. scripted activity |
