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 | subsystem=com.apple.process | DC0034 Process Metadata |
| macos:endpointsecurity | ES_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_EXEC | DC0032 Process Creation |
| fs:fileevents | /var/log/quarantine.log | DC0061 File Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
PathDeviation | Path deviation from expected directory (e.g., /usr/bin/ vs /tmp/) |
BinaryHashReputation | Enable tuning based on hash matching known signed versions vs suspicious clones |
UserRole | Scope detections based on non-admin users using admin-level tools |
