Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: examples and recommendations are almost exclusively focused on Windows-centric technologies (e.g., ASP.NET, WCF, ADO.NET, SQL Server Management Studio, web.config, ServicePointManager, SMB 3.x for Windows clients). There are no Linux-specific examples or equivalent Linux tooling mentioned, and the only code samples are in C#/.NET. Instructions for enforcing HTTPS, certificate pinning, and secure configuration are all tailored to Windows environments, with no parity for Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions for each mitigation, such as using Nginx/Apache for HTTPS enforcement, OpenSSL for certificate validation, and Linux SMB clients (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) for Azure Files.
- Include code samples in other cross-platform languages (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js) and show how to implement security features on Linux.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., sqlcmd for SQL Server, curl/wget for HTTP requests, systemd for service accounts) alongside or before Windows tools.
- For configuration examples (e.g., URL Rewrite), provide equivalent Nginx/Apache configuration snippets.
- When referencing service accounts and least-privilege, include Linux best practices (e.g., using dedicated system users, systemd service files).
- Update references and links to include Linux documentation and community resources.
