Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias, with nearly all configuration and code examples tailored to Windows-centric technologies (ASP.NET, IIS, web.config, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, WCF, etc.). There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided for key security practices, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before any alternatives. Linux/Unix-based approaches, tools, or configuration examples are entirely absent, even for generic security recommendations.
Recommendations:
- For every configuration or code example using Windows-specific tools (e.g., web.config, IIS, BitLocker, Windows Firewall), provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments (e.g., Apache/Nginx configuration, iptables/firewalld, LUKS/dm-crypt for disk encryption).
- Include cross-platform or Linux-specific code/configuration snippets alongside Windows examples, especially for HTTP headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) and CORS setup.
- Reference Linux/Unix security tools and best practices (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, fail2ban, systemd service hardening) where relevant.
- Mention open-source and cross-platform frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Django, Flask, Spring) in addition to ASP.NET and WCF, and provide examples for those stacks.
- When discussing Azure-specific features, clarify which recommendations are applicable to Linux-based Azure services and provide relevant guidance.
- Explicitly state when a recommendation is Windows-only, and offer alternative approaches for non-Windows environments.
