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:SYSCALL | execve: systemctl stop, service stop, or kill -9 on security daemons (e.g., falcon-sensor, auditd) | DC0032 Process Creation |
| auditd:CONFIG_CHANGE | delete: Modification of systemd unit files or config for security agents | DC0041 Service 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 |
|---|---|
AgentServiceNames | List of endpoint protection service names (varies across deployments). |
AllowedAdminAccounts | Accounts permitted to legitimately stop or reconfigure services. |
