Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias throughout. Most configuration and code examples are specific to Windows technologies (e.g., ASP.NET, IIS, web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, WCF), with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform instructions. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., BitLocker, Windows Firewall, web.config, IIS) are mentioned exclusively or before any alternatives. There are no Linux or open-source equivalents provided for key security practices, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/Unix examples for configuration management, such as using iptables/ufw for firewalls, and SELinux/AppArmor for endpoint security.
- Include examples for configuring HTTP headers (e.g., X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, CORS) in popular Linux web servers like Apache and Nginx, not just IIS/web.config.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux disk encryption tools (e.g., LUKS, dm-crypt) alongside BitLocker.
- Reference cross-platform or open-source frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python Flask/Django, Java Spring) in addition to ASP.NET and WCF.
- When discussing IoT, include Linux-based IoT OSes (e.g., Raspbian, Ubuntu Core) and their security features.
- For database firewall configuration, provide Linux-based guidance (e.g., configuring firewalld, iptables, or cloud provider firewalls) in addition to Windows Firewall.
- Balance references and examples so that Linux/open-source users are not excluded or forced to translate Windows-centric instructions.
