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:hostd | New extension/module install with unknown vendor ID | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| esxi:vmkernel | Unexpected restarts of management agents or shell access | DC0064 Command Execution |
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 |
|---|---|
PluginVendorName | Whitelist known vendor plug-in names for extension correlation |
AccessVector | Limit exposure of plugin installation via HTTPS or SSH |
