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

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
DataVolumeThresholdMBSet threshold for outbound volume (e.g., >50MB in a single connection).
ProtocolAllowListAllow-listed protocols in use for specific machines or users (e.g., FTP allowed for backups).
TimeWindowDefine allowed time-of-day windows (e.g., flag after-hours file transfer).
ParentProcessAnomalyIdentify anomalous parent-child process relationships (e.g., `winword.exe` spawning `ftp.exe`).
