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 | Execution of scp, rsync, curl with remote destination | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | File created in ~/Library/LaunchAgents or executable directories | DC0039 File 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 |
|---|---|
SyncApplications | Whitelisted apps like Dropbox or OneDrive if sanctioned |
EntropyThreshold | Adjust threshold for unusual filenames/hashes transferred internally |
