- DET0304 Detection Strategy for Endpoint DoS via Application or System Exploitation
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 | Crash log entries for a process receiving malformed input or known exploit patterns | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| macos:unifiedlog | Unusual child process tree indicating attempted recovery after crash | 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 |
|---|---|
CrashSignature | Binary crash hash or affected dylib for distinguishing malicious faults from benign ones |
InputVector | File, IPC, or network-based input that may be triggering exploitation (e.g., PDF file, POST request) |
