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 | log stream cleared or truncated | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| fs:fsusage | unlink, fs_delete | DC0040 File Deletion |
| macos:osquery | File modifications in ~/Library/Preferences/ | DC0061 File Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
PlistTargetPaths | Define which plist paths relate to LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons |
ExecutionChainDepth | Allow tuning for multi-process persistence chains |
