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 | subsystem=com.apple.Security or com.apple.applescript | DC0029 Script Execution |
| macos:osquery | process_events | DC0032 Process 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 |
|---|---|
ScriptContent | AppleScript snippets like 'display dialog' or 'with hidden answer' |
ProcessPath | Tune out Apple-signed and expected automation tasks |
