<p>Adversary creates disguised launch daemons or apps with misleading names and bundle metadata (e.g., Info.plist values inconsistent with binary path or icon). Launch is correlated with user logon or persistence setup.</p>

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 | process | DC0034 Process Metadata |
| macos:endpointsecurity | ES_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_EXEC | DC0032 Process Creation |
| fs:fileevents | /var/log/install.log | DC0059 File Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
InfoPlistDiscrepancy | Mismatch between bundle metadata and file system path/name |
LaunchAgentPath | Unusual LaunchDaemon/LaunchAgent paths can be tuned per org |
ExecutionTrigger | Window between install and first execution (e.g., at user login) |
