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 chflags hidden or setfile -a V | DC0064 Command Execution |
| macos:unifiedlog | Creation of LaunchAgents/LaunchDaemons in hidden or non-standard directories | DC0039 File 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 |
|---|---|
HiddenDirectories | List of directories monitored for hidden plist or agent placement. |
