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 | process, socket, and DNS logs | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:osquery | process_events + launchd | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | forwarded encrypted traffic | DC0078 Network Traffic Flow |
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 |
|---|---|
LaunchdLabel | Regex for masking patterns in LaunchAgents with proxy behavior. |
UnsignedBinary | Allow for exceptions for known unsigned binaries. |
SOCKSPortUsage | Monitor local 9050/9150 activity and rerouted system traffic. |
