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 sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=1DC0032 Process Creation
WinEventLog:SecurityEventCode=4726, 4657DC0009 User Account Deletion

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
TargetRegistryPathRegexFilters known persistence keys like Run/RunOnce, Image File Execution Options
DeletedScheduledTaskNameMonitors known or suspicious task names deleted post-persistence
DeletedAccountGroupScopeFocuses on highly privileged or recently created accounts
