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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve | DC0032 Process Creation |
| linux:syslog | Module registration or stacktrace logs indicating segmentation faults or unknown module errors | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| NSM:Flow | Outbound connections from web server binaries (apache2, nginx, php-fpm) to unknown external IPs | 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 |
|---|---|
ServerBinaryPath | Alternate install paths like /opt/httpd or user-compiled binaries |
OutboundPortRange | Tunable to match expected versus suspicious outbound traffic patterns |
