Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows and Microsoft technologies, with examples and mitigation steps almost exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., IIS web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, ASP.NET, WCF). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or examples provided for critical configuration management tasks, such as setting security headers, firewall configuration, or disk encryption. This creates friction for users deploying on non-Windows platforms, as they must research and adapt solutions themselves.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all configuration steps and code examples, such as Apache/Nginx configuration for security headers, iptables/firewalld for firewall setup, and LUKS for disk encryption.
  • Include cross-platform code samples (e.g., Python, Node.js, or shell scripts) for generic tasks like setting HTTP headers.
  • Mention open-source or platform-neutral alternatives to Windows-only tools (e.g., instead of BitLocker, reference LUKS/dm-crypt for Linux).
  • Structure examples so that platform-agnostic or Linux/macOS solutions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
  • Clarify which mitigations are universally applicable and which are platform-specific, and provide links to relevant documentation for non-Windows environments.
