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
target_filenamesEnvironment-specific naming of defacement-prone files like 'index.html', 'main.css', 'app.js'.
TimeWindowDetection based on rapid sequence of file writes and script injections within short time intervals.
