Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is mentioned first and most frequently as an example of authentication event sources; examples of application names and hostnames use Windows conventions (e.g., 'C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe', 'DESKTOP-1282V4D', 'Contoso\DESKTOP-1282V4D'); protocols like NTLM are referenced without mention of Linux/Unix equivalents; and there are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples provided for fields such as OS, application names, or hostnames. Linux authentication sources, tools, or patterns are not described or exemplified.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux and Unix examples alongside Windows ones for fields such as OS (e.g., 'Ubuntu 22.04', '/usr/bin/sshd'), application names (e.g., '/usr/sbin/sshd'), and hostnames (e.g., 'webserver01').
- Mention Linux/Unix authentication protocols (e.g., Kerberos, LDAP, PAM) in addition to NTLM.
- Include references to Linux authentication event sources (e.g., SSH servers, PAM logs, systemd journal) in introductory and example sections.
- Ensure that examples of domain and FQDN formats include Linux/Unix conventions (e.g., 'webserver01.example.com').
- Balance the introductory discussion to mention both Windows and Linux as common authentication event sources.
