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 |
|---|---|---|
| macos:unifiedlog | Execution of diskutil or hdiutil attaching hidden partitions | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Hidden volume attachment or modification events | DC0061 File Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
MonitoredPlistPaths | Adjust to target only relevant plist files linked to volume mounting. |
ProcessScope | Restrict monitoring to sensitive processes like diskutil and hdiutil. |
