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:Sysmon | EventCode=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=7 | DC0016 Module Load |
| etw:Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Process | API calls | DC0021 OS API Execution |
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 |
|---|---|
AccessMask | Specific access rights used during process handle acquisition, e.g., PROCESS_VM_WRITE |
TimeWindow | Time correlation window between API calls and thread creation events |
InjectedProcessList | Known high-value targets often abused for injection (e.g., lsass.exe, explorer.exe) |
