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 | Execution of system_profiler or osascript invoking enumeration | DC0032 Process Creation |
| auditd:SYSCALL | Command line arguments including SPApplicationsDataType | DC0064 Command 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 |
|---|---|
AppScope | Whether enumeration targets user apps or system apps. |
ProcessGroup | Parent process or scripting environment (e.g., Python, osascript). |
