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:SysmonEventCode=6DC0079 Driver Load
WinEventLog:SystemEventCode=7045DC0060 Service Creation
WinEventLog:SysmonEventCode=11DC0039 File 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
DriverSignatureStatusSigned vs unsigned drivers; many environments restrict unsigned drivers, but some legacy systems allow them.
TargetDirectorySuspicious driver or DLL drop locations, e.g., \System32\Drivers\ or \Temp\
UserContextRootkit installation via admin or SYSTEM account.
