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.

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.

FieldDescription
MonitoredDirectoriesDirectories where kernel modules or tampering could be staged (e.g., /lib/modules/).
ModuleNamePatternRegex or heuristic match to anomalous module names (e.g., suspicious entropy or gibberish).
LD_PRELOADMonitor presence of suspicious preload values that mask processes or files.
