I've been thinking a lot about what has been talked about in this section of the TH forums, and I've searched the current tutorial list for something recent that relates to the topic of security software, software vulnerabilities, hardware vulnerabilities, and the like. This concerns me, as it seems to be a niche interest; and it really shouldn't be.

There are numerous conventions held annually, in order to help spread awareness of security; yet these seem to be widely ignored by many. I'm wondering if there's enough interest on the forums to make an educational "tutorial" that would help explain the ins/outs of computer security, provide links to articles/lectures/etc., and overall act as a hub for informing computer users about what it really takes to make your computer safe.

Then again, I face the high probability that the demand for such a thing is extremely minimal, and will be under appreciated as a whole. I have a feeling that I'd be alone in compiling all this information, and it would ultimately be done for very little more than the reading pleasure of a few; most likely by those who don't truly need to read it as it is. It would be a little project that would be updated/evolved as new threats and vulnerabilities came out, new technological advancements are released and hacked, and so on.

What do you think? Would this be worth the effort? I have a lot of information to share, and I'm sure I could easily gather enough information to give hours of reading material. I also have many hours of hacking convention talks/lectures to comb through to help deliver even more information, and would provide links to all of them. I could even compile a nice list of computer security related videos into a youtube playlist (similar to the one already in my signature).
