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 |
|---|---|---|
| esxi:vmkernel | DNS lookups resolving to domains with rapid changes in registration metadata | DC0101 Domain Registration |
| esxi:vmkernel | Suspicious traffic filtered or redirected by VM networking stack | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
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 |
|---|---|
MonitoredVMs | Targeted virtual machines where adversaries may attempt to hide C2 traffic. |
