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 | subsystem=com.apple.lsd | DC0059 File Metadata |
| macos:endpointsecurity | ES_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_EXEC | DC0032 Process Creation |
| fs:quarantine | /var/log/quarantine.log | DC0055 File Access |
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 |
|---|---|
FilenameDisplay | Whether user-facing tools display the spoofed name or the true extension |
GatekeeperBypassFlag | Whether the execution bypassed translocation or quarantine checks |
UserContext | Scope detection to untrusted or non-admin users |
