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:cron | cron activity | DC0005 Scheduled Job Metadata |
| NSM:Flow | Outbound Connections | DC0082 Network Connection 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 |
|---|---|
ScriptPathRegex | Path patterns for shell scripts responsible for scheduled transfers |
CronIntervalThreshold | Minimum repetition frequency (e.g., 24h for daily jobs) |
ExfilUserContext | Suspicious or unexpected users launching scheduled transfers |
