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 | process + network metrics correlation for bandwidth saturation | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
| macos:unifiedlog | exec or spawn calls to proxy tools or torrent clients | 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 |
|---|---|
ProcessSignedStatus | Non-signed or non-Apple signed binaries can raise confidence levels. |
DataRateThreshold | Observed data rate per process over time (e.g., MB/s). |
