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 | None | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
| NSM:Flow | None | DC0078 Network Traffic Flow |
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 |
|---|---|
LaunchAgentContext | Used to suppress known legitimate agents. |
PayloadEntropy | Can help isolate covert or encrypted fallback traffic. |
