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:endpointsecurity | ES_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_EXEC | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:launchd | launchd.plist and logs | DC0005 Scheduled Job Metadata |
| macos:unifiedlog | networkd or com.apple.network | DC0078 Network Traffic Flow |
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 |
|---|---|
AgentPathPatterns | Regex for job locations like ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ |
RepeatIntervalDelta | Time-based logic to determine schedule (e.g., ~24h ± 5m) |
UserHomeJobs | Transfers originating from non-admin user context |
