Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by consistently listing Windows credential types and features before Linux equivalents, providing more detailed guidance for Windows scenarios, and referencing Windows-specific tools and authentication (e.g., Active Directory, DPAPI, Windows authentication for SQL Server). Linux support is often mentioned as 'not supported' or with minimal detail, and there are no Linux-specific examples or walkthroughs.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and walkthroughs for adding credentials, including screenshots or command-line instructions where applicable.
- List Linux and Windows credential types and required permissions in parallel, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Expand documentation on Linux support, including supported discovery features, limitations, and best practices.
- Offer guidance for common Linux authentication scenarios (e.g., SSH key-based authentication, integration with LDAP or other directory services).
- Clarify the roadmap or plans for supporting currently unsupported Linux features (e.g., SQL Server discovery, web app discovery) to set user expectations.
