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=6 | DC0079 Driver Load |
| WinEventLog:System | EventCode=7045 | DC0060 Service Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=11 | DC0039 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
DriverSignatureStatus | Signed vs unsigned drivers; many environments restrict unsigned drivers, but some legacy systems allow them. |
TargetDirectory | Suspicious driver or DLL drop locations, e.g., \System32\Drivers\ or \Temp\ |
UserContext | Rootkit installation via admin or SYSTEM account. |
