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 | Received messages with embedded or shortened URLs | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| macos:unifiedlog | Browser processes launching unexpected interpreters (osascript, bash) | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Connections to suspicious domains with mismatched certificate or unusual patterns | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
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 |
|---|---|
CertificateAnomalies | Flag self-signed or mismatched TLS certificates from spearphishing domains. |
ExecutionDelayThreshold | Suspicious delay between URL click and malicious process spawn. |
