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 sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=10DC0035 Process Access
WinEventLog:SecurityEventCode=4663, 4670, 4656DC0055 File Access
WinEventLog:SystemEventCode=7045DC0060 Service Creation
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=13, 14DC0063 Windows Registry Key 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.

FieldDescription
TargetImageScope to sensitive GUI/session processes like winlogon.exe or osk.exe
AccessMaskCan be tuned to 0x1fffff for full-access injection detection
TimeWindowTunable for sustained polling or multiple registry edits in short succession
