Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as ASP.NET, ADFS, web.config, and PowerShell commands. All code/configuration examples are for Windows/.NET environments, with no mention of Linux, cross-platform frameworks, or alternative approaches. Linux equivalents, such as configuration for NGINX/Apache, Java/Python web frameworks, or shell commands, are entirely absent.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel examples for popular Linux-based web frameworks (e.g., Django, Flask, Express.js, Spring) for session management, CSRF protection, and secure cookie handling.
  • Include configuration examples for Linux web servers (e.g., NGINX, Apache) showing how to enforce secure and HttpOnly cookies.
  • When mentioning PowerShell or Windows-specific tools (e.g., Set-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust), offer equivalent bash or CLI commands for Linux-based identity providers (e.g., Shibboleth, Keycloak, or SAML/OIDC providers).
  • Reference cross-platform libraries for session and security management, such as OAuth2 libraries in Python, Node.js, or Java.
  • Structure sections so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented with equal prominence, or explicitly note when a mitigation is Windows-only.
  • Add a table or matrix mapping each mitigation to both Windows and Linux/cross-platform implementations.
