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 | execve | DC0032 Process Creation |
| linux:syslog | boot logs | DC0029 Script 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 |
|---|---|
script_path | Specific path of init script (e.g., /etc/rc.local, /etc/init.d/*) may vary by distribution |
user_context | Root vs. non-root modification context depending on configuration |
time_window | Tuning window for script creation or modification relative to system boot |
