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 |
|---|---|---|
| macos:unifiedlog | profiles install -type=configuration | DC0064 Command Execution |
| macos:unifiedlog | Creation or modification of browser extension .plist files | DC0039 File Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Unexpected child process of Safari or Chrome | 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 |
|---|---|
PlistPath | Different versions may store extensions in variant preference folders |
CommandLineFlags | May vary with OS version; some install flags deprecated in macOS 11+ |
