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:Security | EventCode=4698 | DC0001 Scheduled Job Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=2 | 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 |
|---|---|
TaskAuthor | Unexpected user or account context initiating the task. |
CommandLineRegex | Suspicious binaries or script usage tied to scheduled tasks. |
ExecutionWindow | Lookback window to correlate process execution after task registration. |
