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 | com.apple.accountsd, com.apple.opendirectoryd | DC0010 User Account 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 |
|---|---|
ModifiedUserList | Track known non-system user UIDs or service accounts. |
GroupMembershipChanges | List of sensitive groups (admin, _developer, _analyticsd). |
