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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve: Execution of lsmod, modinfo, or cat /proc/modules | DC0064 Command Execution |
| auditd:FS | read: File access to /proc/modules or /sys/module/ | DC0055 File Access |
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.
