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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve: Execution of tar, gzip, bzip2, xz, zip, or openssl with compression/encryption arguments | DC0064 Command Execution |
| auditd:FILE | create: Creation of archive files in /tmp, /var/tmp, or user home 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 |
|---|---|
ArchiveCommands | List of archiving utilities considered suspicious. |
MonitoredDirectories | Paths where archive creation is flagged as unusual (e.g., /tmp, /var/tmp). |
TimeWindow | Correlation window for linking utility execution with archive creation. |
