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 events | DC0032 Process Creation |
| fs:fsusage | file activity | DC0039 File Creation |
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_name | Name of script or LaunchDaemon plist is tunable across environments |
event_interval | Time window between modification and reboot/login |
file_permission | Permissions on modified RC files can vary between systems |
