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=11 | DC0039 File Creation |
| WinEventLog:Sysmon | EventCode=23 | DC0040 File Deletion |
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 |
|---|---|
SuspiciousTargetPathRegex | Patterns like \Windows\*, \System32\*, or temp+execution directories |
TimeWindow | Correlate copy+rename+delete chains within 5-minute window |
FileExtensionFilter | Limit to .exe, .dll, .js, .bat unless context suggests otherwise |
