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 | Child processes of Safari, Chrome, or Firefox executing scripting interpreters | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | File creation of unsigned binaries/scripts in user cache or download directories | DC0039 File Creation |
| NSM:Flow | Content injection observed in HTTPS responses with mismatched certificates or altered payloads | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
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 |
|---|---|
MonitoredDirectories | macOS-specific directories where malicious payloads may be written. |
