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=1074 | DC0018 Host Status |
| 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 |
|---|---|
UserContext | Defines if user has appropriate privileges to initiate shutdown/reboot. |
TimeWindow | Unexpected shutdowns during business hours may warrant increased scrutiny. |
