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 |
|---|---|---|
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:PowerShell | EventCode=4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 | DC0064 Command Execution |
| WinEventLog:Security | EventCode=5156, 5157 | DC0082 Network Connection 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
DestinationIP | Tunable external IP ranges or domains used to verify Internet access (e.g., 8.8.8.8, example.com) |
TimeWindow | Cluster rapid test connections with command execution in < 60 seconds |
UserContext | Filter out known admin/script contexts to reduce false positives |
