Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Most configuration and code examples are specific to Windows technologies (ASP.NET, IIS, Web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, WCF), with little or no mention of Linux equivalents. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., BitLocker, Windows Firewall, IIS web.config) are referenced exclusively or before any cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux-specific examples or instructions for common tasks such as setting HTTP headers, configuring firewalls, or encrypting partitions. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment, omitting guidance for Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for all configuration tasks, such as setting HTTP headers (using Apache/Nginx config), configuring firewalls (using iptables, ufw, firewalld), and encrypting partitions (using LUKS/dm-crypt).
  • Include cross-platform code samples and configuration snippets, especially for web application security headers and CORS settings.
  • Mention open-source and Linux-native tools (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, LUKS, nftables) alongside Windows tools like BitLocker and Windows Firewall.
  • Clarify which recommendations are platform-specific and offer alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Add references to Linux and cross-platform documentation where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming the use of IIS, ASP.NET, or Windows-only frameworks; provide parity for popular Linux stacks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, running on Apache/Nginx).
