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 | Execution of Python, Swift, or other binaries invoking archiving libraries | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Loading of libz.dylib, libarchive.dylib by non-standard applications | DC0016 Module Load |
| macos:unifiedlog | Creation of .zip, .gz, .dmg archives in /Users, /tmp, or application directories | DC0039 File 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 |
|---|---|
AllowedProcesses | Applications allowed to load compression libraries (e.g., backup agents). |
UserContext | Flag archiving under privileged or system accounts as suspicious. |
FileExtensionFilter | Targeted monitoring of sensitive file formats or compressed containers. |
