Hi Michael,
I'm new to this network however I have been involved in the world of Internet Security for some time now. I am *only* 18 years of age but still I have a lot of experience in this field. I have worked as security analist and have wrote several Proof of Concept exploits for (known) vulnerabilities.
Writing a book on such a subject is quite a difficult task. You have to monitor your potential readers and position yourself in these people. You have to get to know their level of knowledge and write it in such a way that they will find it interesting. A lot of security books are written with way too much jargon in it, a lot of people are scared of this and they wont read the book.
Hope this has helpt you just a little, if everybody helps you a little bit you will get their in the end.
Kindest regards, Andrew Aird
