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 | DNS query with pseudo-random subdomain patterns | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
| macos:unifiedlog | Unexpected applications generating outbound DNS queries | DC0032 Process Creation |
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 |
|---|---|
NewDomainThreshold | Age of domain registration considered suspicious (e.g., < 30 days) |
DNSQueryVolume | Number of queries per process per time window |
