Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows credentials and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively in multiple sections (e.g., SQL Server, File Server, ASP.NET web apps), Windows-specific tools and roles (IIS, SCCM, RDP, Active Directory, Exchange Server) are highlighted, and some features (like File Server discovery) are limited to Windows Server only. Linux equivalents are either mentioned after Windows or omitted entirely in certain cases, such as File Server discovery and ASP.NET web apps. Examples and instructions often prioritize Windows scenarios, with Linux support described in less detail.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for credential setup, permissions, and discovery workflows.
- Expand File Server discovery to include common Linux file server solutions (e.g., Samba, NFS) and document their discovery process.
- Include Linux web server and app discovery examples (e.g., Apache, Nginx, Tomcat) with step-by-step credential and configuration guidance.
- List Linux tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, systemd, cron, SELinux) in relevant categories and examples, not just Windows tools.
- Clarify support for Linux roles and features in all sections, and avoid language that implies Windows is the default or only supported platform.
- Ensure that tables and software examples include Linux-native applications and utilities where appropriate.
