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 |
|---|---|---|
| AWS:CloudTrail | GetInstanceIdentityDocument or IMDSv2 token requests | DC0083 Cloud Service Enumeration |
| AWS:CloudTrail | Use of temporary credentials issued from IMDS access | DC0069 Cloud Service 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 |
|---|---|
UserAgent | May need tuning for known automation tools versus unexpected curl usage |
TimeWindow | Correlate retrieval and use of token within expected timeout window |
