Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific concepts (such as registry keys and Windows services) are described in greater detail and with more examples than their Linux equivalents. Windows tools, paths, and terminology (e.g., c:\ paths, registry, Windows services) are often mentioned first or exclusively, and alerting examples focus heavily on Windows scenarios. While Linux is supported and mentioned, Linux-specific examples (e.g., for daemons, package tracking, or file paths) are less detailed or absent in some sections. The registry tracking section is entirely Windows-centric, and alerting queries are predominantly Windows-focused, with only one Linux daemon example. Powershell is used as the default CLI context, even for Linux commands.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux-focused examples alongside Windows examples in all sections, especially for alerting queries and configuration tracking.
- Expand the documentation on Linux-specific features, such as daemon tracking, package inventory, and typical Linux configuration files (e.g., /etc/hosts, /etc/passwd).
- When listing features or examples, alternate the order or present both Windows and Linux scenarios together to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
- Include Linux command-line examples using bash or shell where appropriate, rather than only using PowerShell or Windows-centric CLI.
- Add a section on tracking Linux configuration files and directories, with concrete examples (e.g., monitoring changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or /var/log).
- In registry/key tracking sections, clarify that this is Windows-only and provide a parallel discussion of Linux equivalents (e.g., tracking changes in /etc or systemd unit files).
