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 |
|---|---|---|
| esxi:hostd | None | DC0064 Command 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 |
|---|---|
ESXCommandPattern | Match specific diag/debug commands abused for recon |
RemoteUserShell | Detect unauthorized shell use or user context (e.g., root over SSH) |
