Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Visual Studio for code reviews, Microsoft Antimalware, and Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows) without mentioning Linux alternatives. The only example of browser cache location is for Internet Explorer. There are no Linux-specific examples or tool recommendations, and the documentation does not provide parity in instructions or tool suggestions for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning Visual Studio for code reviews, also reference cross-platform or Linux-friendly alternatives such as VS Code, GitHub pull requests, or GitLab merge requests.
- For static code analysis, include examples of popular open-source tools that are commonly used on Linux, such as SonarQube, ESLint, or Clang Static Analyzer.
- When discussing antimalware solutions, mention Linux-compatible endpoint protection tools and clarify which Microsoft solutions are available for Linux (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux).
- In the section about removing standard server headers, provide links or instructions for both Windows/IIS and Linux/Apache/Nginx environments.
- When describing browser cache folders, avoid referencing only Windows/Internet Explorer; mention cache locations for other browsers and operating systems.
- For attack surface analysis, include Linux-compatible tools (e.g., Lynis, OpenVAS) alongside Microsoft Attack Surface Analyzer.
- Ensure that all tool recommendations and examples have Linux equivalents or clarify platform compatibility.
