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 'crashed'|'EXC_BAD_ACCESS' for sshd, screensharingd, httpd; launchd restarts of these daemons. | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| macos:osquery | parent_name in ('sshd','httpd','screensharingd') spawning shells or scripting runtimes. | DC0032 Process Creation |
| NSM:Flow | Inbound to 22/5900/8080 and follow-on internal connections. | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
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 |
|---|---|
ServicePortSet | 22, 5900, 8080/8443 by default. |
AllowedAdmins | MDM/jump-host IPs allowed to manage endpoints. |
TimeWindow | Default: 10 minutes. |
