Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on Windows-specific tools and technologies such as PowerShell and WMI, referencing them in detection scenarios without mentioning Linux or cross-platform equivalents. Examples and threat detections are described in terms of Windows-centric activities (e.g., PowerShell command execution, WMI, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint), and there are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux-native tools or attack patterns. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for endpoint detection and response, with no guidance for Linux-based systems.
Recommendations:
  • Include examples and detection scenarios that reference Linux-based attack techniques and tools (e.g., bash scripts, cron jobs, SSH abuse, Linux credential dumping tools like 'gsecdump' or 'LaZagne').
  • When describing suspicious command execution, provide Linux equivalents alongside PowerShell and WMI (e.g., bash, python, perl, systemd misuse).
  • Reference cross-platform endpoint detection tools and data sources, such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux, and clarify how these scenarios apply to Linux systems.
  • Add detection scenarios for Linux-specific threats (e.g., rootkit installation, unauthorized use of sudo, suspicious use of system binaries).
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux examples are given equal prominence, or explicitly state when a scenario is Windows-only.
  • Where possible, generalize descriptions of suspicious activity (e.g., 'suspicious script execution') and then provide both Windows and Linux examples.
