<p>Detects abnormal interaction with memory-based Kerberos ccache (API:{uuid}) or file-based overrides. Focus on processes attempting to enumerate or extract Kerberos tickets outside of built-in utilities. Detects use of open-source tools (e.g., Bifrost, modified Mimikatz ports) that interact with the Kerberos framework APIs.</p>

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 | Kerberos framework calls to API:{uuid} cache outside normal process lineage | DC0055 File Access |
| macos:osquery | Execution of non-standard binaries accessing Kerberos APIs | 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 |
|---|---|
KerberosAPIProcessBaseline | Expected processes using the Kerberos framework (e.g., loginwindow, kinit). |
SuspiciousBinaryList | List of tools or binaries not normally expected to query Kerberos ccache entries. |
TimeWindow | Window to link suspicious process activity with Kerberos authentication anomalies. |
