Summary:
The documentation, while claiming support for both Windows and Linux, displays several Windows-centric biases. Windows terminology, tools, and examples are often presented first or exclusively, such as detailed registry key monitoring (Windows-only), alerting examples focused on Windows file paths, and references to Windows services. Linux equivalents (like daemons or configuration files) are mentioned but not explored with the same depth or specificity. Some sections, such as registry tracking, are Windows-only without parallel Linux content. Command-line examples use PowerShell syntax and Windows paths, and alerting queries are Windows-heavy. Linux features and limitations are mentioned but not detailed or exemplified to the same extent.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and explanations wherever Windows examples are given (e.g., track /etc/passwd or /etc/ssh/sshd_config changes, monitor systemd services).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (alternate or parallel sections/examples).
- Include Linux-specific alerting queries and scenarios (e.g., tracking changes to /etc/hosts, /etc/systemd/system/*.service, or installed packages).
- Expand on Linux limitations and supported features to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., which Linux configuration files or daemons are tracked by default).
- Avoid using only Windows-centric terminology (like registry, services) without also referencing Linux equivalents (like configuration files, daemons) in the same context.
- Where PowerShell or Windows CLI is used, provide Bash or Linux CLI equivalents.
