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 | Terminal/Editor processes modifying web folder | DC0061 File Modification |
| macos:unifiedlog | loginwindow or sshd events with external IP | DC0088 Logon Session Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
web_root_dir | May include ~/Sites or custom Apache paths |
editor_name | Text editor or script modifying the files may vary (e.g., nano, VS Code) |
