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:Sysmon | EventCode=1 | DC0032 Process Creation |
| WinEventLog:PowerShell | EventCode=4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 | DC0064 Command Execution |
| WinEventLog:Windows Defender | Operational | DC0059 File 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 |
|---|---|
FilenamePattern | RTLO variants such as \u202E, %E2%80%AE, or byte-encoded forms |
ExecutionContext | Allows tuning for untrusted sources, e.g., browser downloads or email attachments |
TimeWindow | Defines correlation between file creation and process execution |
