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 |
|---|---|---|
| auditd:USER_LOGIN | USER_LOGIN | DC0088 Logon Session Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
SSHMethod | Environments using passwordless SSH should not have password logins enabled for root or other default accounts. |
RemoteIPWhitelist | Logins from jump boxes may be whitelisted depending on environment policies. |
