Summary

The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias, especially in sections discussing SMB encryption, UNC hardening, and LDAP signing. Windows tools and concepts (SMB, UNC, Active Directory, Group Policy) are described in detail, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. LDAP signing and channel binding are discussed primarily in the context of Windows Active Directory, with configuration examples and links focused on Windows Server. There is little to no mention of Linux or macOS client configuration for SMB encryption, LDAP signing, or NFS Kerberos setup, and no Linux-specific tools or commands are referenced.

Recommendations

Add Linux/macOS examples for configuring SMB encryption, such as using mount options or Samba client settings.
Include instructions or references for configuring NFS Kerberos on Linux clients, including common distributions and tools (e.g., krb5.conf, nfs-utils).
Provide parity in LDAP signing and StartTLS configuration by referencing Linux LDAP clients (e.g., OpenLDAP) and their configuration files.
Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are given equal prominence, or at least mention Linux/macOS alternatives alongside Windows tools.
Link to documentation for Linux/macOS equivalents where possible (e.g., Samba, OpenLDAP, MIT Kerberos).
