<p>Correlate suspicious file transfers over SMB or Admin$ shares with process creation events (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe, certutil.exe) that do not align with normal administrative behavior. Detect remote file writes followed by execution of transferred binaries.</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=5140 | DC0102 Network Share Access |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=11 | DC0039 File Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | 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 |
|---|---|
TimeWindow | Time period between file transfer and execution used to correlate events |
UserContext | Accounts allowed to perform legitimate administrative transfers |
FilePathWhitelist | Exclude known legitimate software update directories |
