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:Security | EventCode=4663, 4670, 4656 | DC0061 File Modification |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=10 | DC0035 Process Access |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=7 | DC0016 Module Load |
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 |
|---|---|
TargetObject | Target registry paths like HKLM\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets or variants can be tuned depending on OS version or registry redirection settings. |
ImageLoaded | Module names such as `lsasrv.dll`, `sechost.dll`, or suspicious DLLs loaded by user processes may require tuning for known-good service operations. |
AccessMask | Tuning based on whether processes are using specific sensitive access rights (e.g., 0x2 or 0x4). |
TimeWindow | Temporal window between registry access and command-line tool execution. |
