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 |
|---|---|---|
| docker:events | docker run with restart=always or modifying init | DC0072 Container Creation |
| auditd:SYSCALL | modification of entrypoint scripts or init containers | DC0061 File Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
EntrypointOverridePattern | Patterns used to detect modified container start scripts |
RestartPolicyMatch | Policy values triggering alert (e.g., always, on-failure) |
KubeInitModPath | Path filters for `/etc/init.d/`-like behaviors inside containers |
