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 | open, read | DC0055 File Access |
| auditd:SYSCALL | ptrace, ioctl | DC0021 OS API Execution |
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 |
|---|---|
ProcessName | Exclude known good applications (e.g. Xorg, GNOME Shell) |
DevicePath | Typically /dev/input/event*, but tunable to match custom input buses |
