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 ping, nping, or crafted network packets via bash or python to reflection services | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Outbound UDP spikes to external reflector IPs | 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 |
|---|---|
ReflectionPorts | Ports known for reflection abuse — DNS, NTP, SSDP, Memcached |
TrafficSpikeThreshold | How much deviation in outbound traffic constitutes a suspicious spike |
