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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:SYSCALL | execve | DC0032 Process Creation |
| linux:syslog | systemctl start/enable with uncommon binary paths | DC0060 Service Creation |
| auditd:SYSCALL | write | DC0061 File Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
ServiceBinaryPaths | Valid directories for service binaries to filter out benign changes |
UserContext | Expected accounts performing service management (e.g., root/admin) |
