Fellow geeks,
I was going to make a thread elsewhere, but I figured this would be the best way to inform the techmologists, specifically, and possibly bring some traffic to this section of the forum at the same time.
Anyways, I was wanting to create either a Facebook group (Less-likely, unless favored by you all), a forum, or just a thread (Maybe here, if you guys would like) that would be used to discuss all matters on security. Everything from architectural design flaws, to viruses, to cryptology, to cyber-security, to social engineering. I want people to read and contribute if they are interested and willing to do a lot of research. I know I'm currently interested in physical security (The general security of a building or facility, dealing with architecture and social engineering vulnerabilities.) and will be reading for countless hours on the subject. I'll be looking into getting access to public, and possibly confidential, records on government jobs/private jobs - break-ins and invasions of systems by private organizations and government agencies. This would be very informative, depending on how they will limit the information I will request for, and it will probably put me, and anyone else looking at it, on a watch-list of sorts. But, keep in mind, I will be requesting this information officially, and would be informing them of its use. If I have to limit what I can write about, I will. If they won't let me have anything I ask for, so be it. I'll find another way to connect the concepts to application, in that case.
This would be a great help in my research and study of the vast field of security. I want people to write anything from small articles, to extensive essays (This will probably be me). So, if you're more of a light-reader, it could be useful for you. And, at someone's request, anything anyone writes may be able to be summarized by me, or whoever else is a part of the group.
If anyone has any ideas about how this little discussion-group should be done, or if someone would be interested in joining such a group, please let me know here, make this a new thread, or message me.
Thanks
P.S I want to avoid bringing in people from other security forums like HackForums and such because those people tend to be outrageously stupid and/or incredibly bigoted Nazis, etc.
