DET0304 Detection Strategy for Endpoint DoS via Application or System Exploitation

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 sourceChannelData component
WinEventLog:ApplicationEventCode=1000DC0038 Application Log Content
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=1DC0032 Process Creation
WinEventLog:SystemEventCode=7031, 7034DC0060 Service 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.

FieldDescription
TimeWindowTime window between repeated service crashes or restarts (e.g., 5 crashes within 1 hour)
TargetApplicationCritical applications to monitor based on environment (e.g., web server, database, VPN)
