An object’s ATT&CK ID is the external_id of its first external reference, whose source_name is mitre-attack for a technique. Each class gives the form of its ID in its attack_id_pattern annotation, and tests/attack_rules.py checks it, since no validator reads the order of a list. The STIX id, such as attack-pattern-- and a UUID, identifies the object itself.1
