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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve | DC0032 Process Creation |
| linux:syslog | /var/log/syslog | DC0029 Script 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 |
|---|---|
ScriptDir | Script invoked from /tmp, /var/tmp, or .hidden/ folders. |
ScheduledContext | Execution from user cron or systemd timers outside of approved scripts. |
NetworkActivity | Python performing HTTP/HTTPS without package updates. |
