Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias through the use of Windows-specific terminology (e.g., NTDomain, NetBiosName, SID, RegistryKey/Hive) and by referencing Windows-centric concepts (such as AlternateDataStreamName, WindowsSecurityZoneType, and Mark of the Web) without equivalent Linux/macOS context. Windows identifiers and fields are often listed first or exclusively, while Linux/macOS equivalents are not explained or are absent. However, the document does acknowledge Linux and other OSes in some schema fields (e.g., OSFamily), and the bias does not prevent Linux/macOS users from understanding or using the documentation.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific fields (e.g., NTDomain, NetBiosName, SID, RegistryKey) are described, add notes or parallel fields for Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., UID/GID, /etc/passwd, file permissions, etc.) if applicable.
- In the Host and Account schemas, clarify how these fields map (or do not map) to Linux/macOS systems, and provide examples for non-Windows environments.
- For fields like AlternateDataStreamName and WindowsSecurityZoneType, explicitly state that these are Windows-only and describe what, if any, analogous concepts exist on Linux/macOS.
- Consider including Linux/macOS-specific entity types or attributes where relevant (e.g., systemd unit names, Linux process attributes, etc.).
- When listing identifier combinations, provide Linux/macOS-centric examples alongside Windows ones.
- Review terminology throughout to ensure cross-platform clarity (e.g., avoid assuming 'domain' always means Active Directory).
