Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, with nearly all configuration, security, and code examples focused on Windows technologies (ASP.NET, IIS, Windows Firewall, BitLocker, Windows Azure, WCF, etc.). There is little to no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives, and examples are exclusively in C#, XML (web.config), or reference Windows-only features. Linux tools, configuration files, and patterns are absent, even in areas where Linux is commonly used (web servers, firewalls, disk encryption, etc.).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Unix equivalents for all configuration and security recommendations (e.g., show how to set HTTP headers in Apache/Nginx, use iptables/firewalld for firewall configuration, use LUKS/dm-crypt for disk encryption).
  • Include code samples in languages and frameworks commonly used on Linux (e.g., Python, Node.js, Java, Go) alongside C#/.NET examples.
  • Reference cross-platform or Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., SELinux/AppArmor for endpoint security, systemd for service management, OpenSSL for encryption).
  • Clarify when recommendations are Windows-specific and offer alternative guidance for Linux-based deployments.
  • Add documentation sections or tables explicitly comparing Windows and Linux approaches for each mitigation or configuration topic.
