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 | Execution of chflags hidden or SetFile -a V | DC0064 Command Execution |
| macos:unifiedlog | File metadata updated with UF_HIDDEN flag | DC0059 File 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 |
|---|---|
HiddenAttributeScope | Restrict detection to non-standard directories where hidden flags are unexpected. |
