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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:System | EventCode=7045 | DC0060 Service Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=5 | DC0033 Process Termination |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=13, 14 | DC0063 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
ProcessNameExclusions | List of expected administrative tools/processes to prevent false positives. |
TimeWindow | Defines correlation window linking process termination, registry edits, and service stoppage. |
ServiceNames | Customizable list of security service names per enterprise deployment. |
