Master - Lab - Analysis of Security of Youtube tutorials

Supervisor: Eva (gerlitz@cs.uni-bonn.de)

YouTube is full of tutorials concerning all sort of topics, and many of them are considered to be relevant for IT security, e.g., creating a user login and dealing with authentication in general. The idea of this lab is to understand how the most popular tutorials deal with Security.

Your task

• Start with the topic of user logins and authentication (more topics can be added)
• Identify search terms and relevant videos/channels
• Identify aspects to analyze (e.g., is security mentioned? When is it mentioned? Are the recommendations up-to-date?, …)
• Watch videos and analyze them
