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 | authd | DC0002 User Account Authentication |
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 |
|---|---|
AuthMechanism | Local console vs. SSH vs. remote Apple Admin tools |
FailurePattern | Use regex to isolate brute force messages among other log noise |
