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 | Execution of launchctl unload, kill, or removal of security agent daemons | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Modification of system configuration profiles affecting security tools | DC0041 Service Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
DaemonNames | Expected security agent daemons (e.g., com.crowdstrike.falcon.Agent). |
TimeWindow | Detection correlation period for multiple security tool disable actions. |
