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 | exec or spawn of 'system_profiler', 'ioreg', 'kextstat', 'sysctl', or calls to sysctl API | DC0032 Process Creation |
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 |
|---|---|
ExecutionBurst | Threshold of sequential system checks or tools used in a short time |
ToolName | Specific tools used for querying device and system metadata |
