Summary
The documentation for configuration management in the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool demonstrates notable Windows bias. Most examples and mitigation steps are presented using Windows-centric technologies (ASP.NET, IIS, web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, WCF), with little to no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. Even generic security concepts (like HTTP headers for CSP, X-Frame-Options, CORS) are shown only in the context of Windows tooling and configuration files. There are no Linux-specific examples, and Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively or before any cross-platform approaches.
Recommendations
- For generic web security mitigations (CSP, X-Frame-Options, CORS, MIME sniffing), provide configuration examples for popular Linux web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) and cross-platform frameworks.
- When discussing firewall configuration, mention Linux firewall tools (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw) alongside Windows Firewall.
- For disk encryption, reference Linux alternatives to BitLocker (e.g., LUKS, dm-crypt) where applicable.
- Include cross-platform code samples and configuration snippets for non-Windows environments, especially for web APIs and web applications.
- Clarify when a mitigation or feature is Windows-only, and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users if available.
