MsMittens' Security Bible?
Well, ok. Maybe call it something else. I was talking with a publisher today about the possibility of writing a book. They are interested but damned if I can figure out what to specifically cover. I suppose I'd have a chapter on wargames, how exploits work, how networking works, standard trojans/virii/worms and of course how to defend against this. The target would be those with some knowledge and who want to get to the next level.
But I'm curious as to feedback from members as to what you'd look for in a security book that perhaps hasn't been covered or isn't covered well enough.
The goal of the book isn't $$ or fame. Rather I'm looking at a way to create a book that I'd feel comfortable using in class and that doesn't send my students to sleepyland. :D

Yeah, not sure if that title would sell a bunch of copies. Then again, you said it wasn't for the cash.

To my peanut brain, that's going to be a tough one to answer. What about local security policy, in detail? Told ya I was workin with very little? :D
