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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4624, 4648 | DC0067 Logon Session Creation |
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=4778, EventCode=4779 | DC0088 Logon Session Metadata |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=3, 22 | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process 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 |
|---|---|
TimeWindow | Temporal threshold to correlate login with post-login activity (e.g., 5 minutes) |
UserContext | Tune for non-admin users or service accounts expected to use RDP |
ProcessList | Define suspicious post-login processes such as cmd.exe, powershell.exe, certutil.exe |
HostAccessPatterns | Scope detection to uncommon or first-time access between source and destination hosts |
