Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through its exclusive use of Windows-centric terminology, log formats, and user account references (e.g., 'WIN-DATABOXADMIN', 'NT AUTHORITY', 'Workgroup'). There are no explicit PowerShell commands or Windows command-line examples, but the audit log samples and explanations are clearly based on Windows event logs and authentication models. There are no Linux-specific examples, log samples, or instructions, and the documentation does not mention or demonstrate parity for Linux users or administrators.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-specific log samples, such as syslog or auditd entries, to illustrate how Data Box events appear on Linux systems.
- Add instructions or examples for tracking and auditing Data Box events on Linux, including relevant tools (e.g., journalctl, grep, auditctl).
- Clarify whether the Data Box device supports Linux authentication and logging mechanisms, and if so, provide guidance for Linux administrators.
- When presenting sample logs or user accounts, provide both Windows and Linux variants (e.g., show a sample with a Linux user and group, or NFS authentication).
- Explicitly mention any differences in experience or available features between Windows and Linux environments, if applicable.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and verification steps (such as checksum validation) include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using sha256sum or cksum).

This event is generated when a logon session is created. It is generated on the computer that was accessed.
The subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.
The logon type field indicates the kind of logon that occurred. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
The New Logon fields indicate the account for whom the new logon was created, i.e. the account that was logged on.
The network fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
The impersonation level field indicates the extent to which a process in the logon session can impersonate.
The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
- Logon GUID is a unique identifier that can be used to correlate this event with a KDC event.
- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
