Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and protocols (WinRM, WMI, WMICall, Get-WmiObject cmdlet) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents, and troubleshooting steps often reference Windows-specific actions (such as modifying WinRM TrustedHosts or ensuring WinRM is running) with less detail or prominence given to Linux (e.g., SSH port 22 is mentioned but not expanded upon). Many error codes and recommended actions focus on Windows environments, with Linux guidance being less detailed or sometimes missing. The web apps discovery errors section is almost entirely focused on IIS and Windows-based web applications, with no equivalent guidance for Linux-based web servers (such as Apache or Nginx).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples alongside Windows instructions, such as how to configure SSH, required permissions, and common issues for Linux servers.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., SSH, systemctl, journalctl) where Windows PowerShell or WinRM commands are given.
  • Ensure parity in error code explanations and recommended actions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Add troubleshooting guidance for common Linux web servers (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat) in the web apps discovery errors section.
  • Avoid mentioning Windows tools or protocols first unless they are more relevant; present Windows and Linux guidance in parallel where possible.
