Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias throughout. All troubleshooting steps, log collection, and configuration instructions assume a Windows environment, referencing Windows-specific tools (Event Viewer, MMC, certutil, regedit, Process Monitor, Control Panel, Windows Services, etc.), Windows file paths, and PowerShell commands. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions, nor any mention of how to perform these tasks on Linux-based self-hosted IR nodes. Even when cross-platform tools (like openssl) are mentioned, their context is still within a Windows workflow.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit sections or callouts for Linux-based self-hosted IR nodes, where supported, covering log collection, service management, and troubleshooting.
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-only instructions (e.g., using journalctl/syslog for logs, openssl for certificates, systemctl for service management, Linux file paths, etc.).
  • Include bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell commands.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (such as Wireshark, openssl, curl) in a platform-agnostic way, and clarify any platform-specific limitations.
  • Where features are Windows-only, clearly state this and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
  • Review all screenshots and UI references to ensure they are not exclusively Windows-focused, or supplement with Linux examples where possible.
