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:Security | EventCode=4624, 4648 | DC0067 Logon Session Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=3, 22 | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | 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 |
|---|---|
ShareName | Targeted admin share path, such as C$, ADMIN$, IPC$ |
TimeWindow | Correlation window between remote file access and remote execution (e.g., 5-10 minutes) |
UserContext | Distinguish expected remote administrators vs. rare/first-time access by specific users |
ProcessList | List of suspicious binaries or tools executed post remote copy (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, runonce.exe) |
