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 |
|---|---|---|
| esxi:shell | /root/.ash_history | DC0064 Command Execution |
| NSM:Flow | mirror/SPAN port | 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 |
|---|---|
TransferTargetDomainOrIP | Public IPs or domains not belonging to known ESXi mgmt infra |
SourceDirectoryFilter | Monitor transfers from /tmp/, /etc/, /vmfs/volumes/ |
