Summary
The documentation exhibits several types of Windows bias. Windows tools and technologies (PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, IIS, Windows authentication) are referenced frequently and often before or instead of Linux equivalents. SQL Server and ASP.NET web app discovery are supported only on Windows, with Linux explicitly not supported. Example scripts and configuration instructions are provided only for Windows authentication and SQL Server, with no equivalent for Linux-based databases. Windows-specific ports and permissions are detailed, while Linux requirements are less thoroughly described. In some sections, Linux support is mentioned but lacks parity in examples, tooling, and guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux examples and scripts where possible, especially for database discovery and authentication.
- Expand documentation for Linux server requirements, including supported tools, authentication mechanisms, and troubleshooting steps.
- List Linux options and examples before or alongside Windows ones to avoid 'Windows first' presentation.
- Clarify limitations for Linux users and offer alternative approaches or workarounds.
- Include guidance for Linux web server discovery (e.g., Apache, Nginx) if supported, or clearly state limitations.
- Offer Bash or shell script alternatives to PowerShell where applicable.
- Ensure parity in port, credential, and permission documentation for Linux environments.
