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
ProcessNetworkBaselineWhitelist of typical binaries expected to generate outbound connections (e.g., wget, curl)
PayloadLengthVarianceDeviation threshold to consider data 'fixed size' (e.g., ±5% size delta)
RepeatFrequencyThresholdNumber of observed transfers per minute/hour that signals anomalous repetition
