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 calling security find-certificate, export, or import | DC0064 Command Execution |
| macos:keychain | ~/Library/Keychains, /Library/Keychains | DC0055 File Access |
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 |
|---|---|
ApplicationAllowList | Whitelist legitimate apps that interact with Keychain to reduce false positives. |
