Every book MWL has released has been super helpful in my experience.
Probably one of the best tech writers I’ve ever encountered. I own most of this books - especially the more BSD specific ones.

Just bought the Tux edition on Amazon for Kindle. $10. Says it was published/updated April 5, 2021. Hands on practice with OpenSSL. Engaging writing style. Doesn't assume too much or too little. No bullshit.
This command alone in the first ten pages makes it worth it. Establish TLS connection, get certs, and decode certs for any site:
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.mwl.io:443 </dev/null | openssl x509 -text -noout
10/10.

Hmmm... for that kind of stuff, I've found sslshopper's page to be very useful. https://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-comma...
And for the TLS handshake, this is incredibly useful: https://tls.ulfheim.net (The Illustrated TLS Connection). Towards the bottom of this page, you now have TLS 1.3 illustrated as well.
The contents look good and I feel like it might help me patch some holes in my knowledge. It has the advantage of at least looking like it's up to date (a lot of SSL writing has been obsoleted).
