Summary
The documentation exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Group Policy, Windows Firewall, SMB encryption, and Windows security books) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Powershell and Windows-centric deployment/upgrade instructions are referenced, while Linux alternatives are less detailed or missing. Some examples and recommendations are Windows-first or exclusively Windows, and certain security tools (e.g., Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool) are listed without Linux counterparts. Although Linux is covered in some sections, parity in examples, tool references, and guidance is lacking.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and step-by-step guides alongside Windows instructions, especially for deployment, configuration, and hardening.
  • Include Linux-native security tools (e.g., ClamAV, Lynis, auditd) in the ransomware and endpoint protection sections, and reference their documentation.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than listing Windows tools and patterns first.
  • Add PowerShell alternatives for Linux (e.g., Bash, Ansible, Azure CLI) in relevant sections and link to their usage guides.
  • Reference Linux-specific best practices for firewall configuration (e.g., firewalld, ufw) and encryption (e.g., LUKS, eCryptfs) where Windows Group Policy is discussed.
  • Ensure that all recommendations and checklists explicitly address both Linux and Windows, with clear, parallel guidance.
