<p>Detects abuse of Mono/.NET Core environments to execute VB-like scripts, often in environments with Office emulation or WINE. Focus is on rare invocations of scripting hosts like mono.exe or .NET shells, often seen in spam filtering or forensic labs with Office support.</p>

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 |
|---|---|
InterpreterPath | Mono/.NET Core binary location may differ per distro or Docker container. |
FileExtension | .vbs, .vb, or .vba run under non-standard interpreters. |
ExecContext | Execution by low-privilege users or from /tmp/. |
