DET0499 Behavioral Detection of Fallback or Alternate C2 Channels

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
InterfaceNameMay vary based on ESXi build and should be filtered to suppress known interfaces.
FallbackIPRangesEnvironment-specific ranges to ignore (e.g., DR tunnels or out-of-band mgmt).
