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=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
| WinEventLog:PowerShell | EventCode=4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 | DC0064 Command 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 |
|---|---|
AccessedFunction | Tune to focus on suspicious function calls (e.g., user32.dll!EnumWindows). |
UserContext | Detect behavior from non-interactive or low-privileged users where enumeration is uncommon. |
TimeWindow | Shorten detection scope to rapid successive window enumeration attempts. |
