<p>Detects extraction or mounting of container/archive files (e.g., .iso, .vhd, .zip) that originated from the Internet but whose contained files lack Zone.Identifier MOTW tagging. Correlates file creation metadata with subsequent execution of unsigned or untrusted binaries launched outside SmartScreen or Protected View.</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.

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
WatchedExtensionsAdjust monitored file types (e.g., .iso, .vhd, .zip, .gz, .rar) based on enterprise usage
TimeWindowDefines correlation window between extraction/mount and first execution of inner files
TrustedExtractionToolsWhitelist known enterprise archivers and deployment mechanisms to reduce false positives
