<p>Processes invoking destructive commands (dd, shred, wipe) with raw device targets (e.g., /dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1). Detect direct writes to disk partitions and abnormal superblock or bootloader modifications. Correlate shell execution with subsequent block device I/O.</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 | open/write syscalls on /dev/sd* or /dev/nvme* | DC0054 Drive Access |
| auditd:EXECVE | Execution of dd, shred, wipe targeting block devices | DC0032 Process Creation |
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 |
|---|---|
TargetDevices | Tune to exclude removable drives or test partitions commonly written by administrators. |
EntropyThreshold | Detects large blocks of pseudorandom data being written; may need tuning for backup/crypto workloads. |
