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 sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=11DC0039 File Creation
WinEventLog:SecurityEventCode=4688DC0032 Process Creation
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=13, 14DC0063 Windows Registry Key Modification

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.

FieldDescription
TimeWindowDefines the threshold time for accessing multiple sensitive files indicating automation.
SuspiciousProcessListProcess names to monitor (e.g., reg.exe, cmd.exe, powershell.exe, etc.)
