Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Windows ACLs, WCF/.NET configuration) without providing Linux or cross-platform equivalents. Examples and guidance are oriented toward Windows environments, and there is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or examples for common tasks like log file permissions or log rotation. The only detailed configuration examples are for Windows technologies (WCF), and Windows terminology (ACL) is used exclusively when discussing file access control.
Recommendations:
- For sections discussing file permissions (e.g., 'Ensure that Audit and Log Files have Restricted Access'), include Linux/Unix equivalents such as chmod, chown, and setfacl, and provide example commands.
- When referencing log rotation, mention and provide examples for Linux tools such as logrotate, and describe how to configure them.
- For logging and auditing in web applications, provide examples using popular cross-platform frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java) and mention logging best practices for both Windows and Linux deployments.
- Where WCF/.NET examples are given, consider adding parallel examples for cross-platform frameworks (e.g., gRPC, REST APIs implemented in other languages) and how to configure logging/auditing in those environments.
- Replace or supplement Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'Windows ACL') with platform-neutral language or include Linux equivalents (e.g., 'file permissions and access control lists (ACLs) on Linux using chmod/setfacl').
- Explicitly state when a mitigation or recommendation is platform-specific, and provide alternative guidance for other platforms where appropriate.
