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=4698 | DC0001 Scheduled Job 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 |
|---|---|
TaskUser | Unusual users creating jobs (e.g., non-admin accounts or service users). |
ExecutionTimeWindow | Delay between task registration and execution. |
CommandLinePattern | Unexpected script or binary execution (e.g., cmd.exe /c PowerShell payload). |
