Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_tools
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of Windows-centric terminology, log samples, and account names (e.g., WIN-DATABOXADMIN, NT AUTHORITY, use of backslashes in file paths). There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or log formats discussed. The audit log sample is clearly from a Windows event log, and there is no mention of Linux authentication, file system conventions, or how logs might differ on Linux clients. While the documentation mentions SMB and NFS protocols, it does not provide parity in examples or troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples for accessing and interpreting logs, such as sample audit logs from NFS clients or Linux authentication events.
  • Provide file path examples using both Windows (backslash) and Linux (forward slash) conventions.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to access Data Box shares and logs from Linux systems, including sample commands (e.g., using mount, smbclient, or NFS utilities).
  • Clarify any differences in log formats or error messages when using Linux clients versus Windows clients.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and references for common Linux issues, such as permissions, character encoding, or mounting shares.
  • Ensure that any scripts or tools referenced (e.g., CRC checksum tool) are demonstrated in both Windows and Linux environments, with usage instructions for each.

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.
