Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias, primarily through the use of Windows-centric terminology, examples, and field values. Several example values and field names reference Windows-specific constructs (such as SIDs, 'C:\' file paths, 'WORKGROUP', 'DESKTOP', and 'Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter'), and HTTP user agent strings reference Windows OS versions. There is little to no mention of Linux or Unix equivalents, and Windows patterns are presented as the default or only example.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux/Unix-specific examples alongside Windows ones, such as file paths ('/var/log/syslog'), device names ('eth0'), and user/group identifiers (UID/GID).
- When referencing fields like User SID or domain names, clarify applicability to non-Windows environments (e.g., mention UIDs for Linux).
- Provide sample values for fields like device names, file paths, and domains that reflect both Windows and Linux conventions.
- Avoid using only Windows-specific terms (e.g., 'WORKGROUP', 'DESKTOP', 'C:\') as examples; alternate or supplement with Linux/Unix equivalents.
- In the 'Data types and formats' and 'Network sessions table schema' sections, explicitly note cross-platform considerations and differences.
- For fields such as 'DvcOutboundInterface', which uses 'Ethernet adapter Ethernet 4' as an example, add a Linux-style example like 'eth1' or 'enp0s3'.
