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 |
|---|---|---|
| networkdevice:cli | erase flash:, erase startup-config, format disk | DC0064 Command Execution |
| networkdevice:syslog | User privilege escalation to level 15/root prior to destructive commands | DC0002 User Account Authentication |
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 |
|---|---|
PrivilegedUsers | Tune to exclude approved maintenance sessions by known administrators. |
CommandPatterns | Adjust monitored destructive command list depending on device vendor and OS. |
