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.

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.

FieldDescription
VolumeNamePatternDetect suspicious or unrecognized drive labels (e.g., UNTITLED, BACKUP_VOL).
ProcessOriginDetect CLI-based copy operations vs. expected GUI usage.
UserSessionCheckAlert if process and session context are mismatched (e.g., script from screensaver context).
