Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as PSExec) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents, and the overall workflow is centered around PowerShell, which is more native to Windows. While Linux examples are present, the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows patterns and tools, and PowerShell is required on both platforms, which may not align with typical Linux workflows.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/examples to avoid always listing Windows first.
  • Provide native Linux shell (bash) alternatives where possible, or clarify if PowerShell is a strict requirement for all platforms.
  • Mention and link to Linux-native privilege escalation tools (e.g., 'su', 'sudo') before or alongside Windows tools like PSExec.
  • Clarify the rationale for using PowerShell on Linux, and provide guidance for users who may not have it installed by default.
  • Where possible, use neutral language that does not assume Windows as the primary environment.
