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 sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=1DC0032 Process Creation
WinEventLog:ApplicationService crash, unhandled exception, or application hang warnings for critical services (e.g., IIS, DNS, SQL Server)DC0038 Application Log Content

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.

FieldDescription
TimeWindowNumber of service crashes or high-CPU events within a defined time period
ServiceTargetSpecific service name or executable targeted for DoS (e.g., svchost.exe, w3wp.exe)
CPUThresholdPercentCPU usage percent considered anomalous over duration
