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 | grep/cat on files matching credential patterns | DC0064 Command Execution |
| macos:unifiedlog | open/read of *.plist or .env files | DC0055 File Access |
| macos:unifiedlog | Keychain or user login post-access | DC0067 Logon Session 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 |
|---|---|
KeychainToolAccess | Monitor unexpected use of security CLI or Keychain helper binaries |
FileTypeList | Add or remove watched file types based on system usage |
