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 | Observed loading of new LaunchAgent or LaunchDaemon plist | DC0041 Service Metadata |
| macos:unifiedlog | write | DC0061 File Modification |
| macos:unifiedlog | Execution of binary listed in newly modified LaunchAgent plist | DC0032 Process 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 |
|---|---|
PlistKey | Organizations may use specific keys or additional payload parameters |
TimeWindow | Tunable based on expected delay between plist write and execution |
