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 | process:launch | 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 |
|---|---|
CommandLine | Filters for suspicious execution of 'dscl . -read /Groups', etc. |
ParentProcess | Flag group enumeration from automation tools (e.g., LaunchAgents or suspicious apps). |
