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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=11 | DC0039 File Creation |
| EDR:file | File Metadata Inspection (Low String Entropy, Missing PDB) | DC0059 File Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
EntropyThreshold | Payloads with extremely low string entropy may indicate stripped or obfuscated binaries |
ParentProcessName | Used to scope or whitelist common system builders, compilers, or admin tools |
TimeWindow | Correlates file creation and process spawning within a short timeframe |
