Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The only explicit command-line example for DNS resolution uses Windows PowerShell, with no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., dig or nslookup on Linux). The tutorial refers to 'Open Windows PowerShell' and 'Open Microsoft Edge' for testing, implicitly assuming the test VM is running Windows. There are no instructions or examples for performing the same steps on a Linux VM, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows environments from following the tutorial seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, such as using 'dig' or 'nslookup' on Linux for DNS resolution.
  • Clarify that the test VM can be either Windows or Linux, and offer guidance for both OS types.
  • Include screenshots or command outputs from Linux terminals where appropriate.
  • Mention cross-platform browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chrome) instead of only Microsoft Edge.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements or options for the test VM in the prerequisites section.
