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=4624, 4648 | DC0067 Logon Session 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 |
|---|---|
UserContext | Default usernames like 'Administrator' or 'Guest' may be renamed or disabled by the organization. Detection logic should account for name changes. |
TimeWindow | Restrict detection to unusual hours or outside of expected maintenance windows. |
