- Part of
- DET0193 Detection Strategy for Stored Data Manipulation across OS Platforms.
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 | Unexpected creation or modification of stored data files in protected directories | DC0061 File Modification |
| macos:osquery | CREATE, DELETE, WRITE: Stored data manipulation attempts by unauthorized processes | DC0040 File 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
FileIntegrityBaseline | Baseline hash values or metadata for stored data files to detect manipulation. |
AllowedEditors | Whitelisted applications permitted to update stored data (e.g., Outlook, MySQL). |
