<p>Unusual direct disk access attempts (e.g., use of \\.\PhysicalDrive notation), abnormal writes to MBR/boot sectors, and installation of kernel drivers that grant raw disk access. Correlate anomalous process creation with disk modification attempts and driver loads.</p>

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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4673 | DC0013 User Account Metadata |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | Raw disk write access via \\.\PhysicalDrive* or \\.\C: | DC0046 Drive Modification |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=6 | DC0079 Driver Load |
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 |
|---|---|
ProcessWhitelist | Legitimate disk imaging or backup tools may trigger raw disk access — must be excluded per environment. |
TimeWindow | Correlate disk access, driver load, and process execution within a short timeframe to minimize false positives. |
