Highly recommend for a top-to-bottom overview of TLS and how to use and abuse it. I’ve spent more time than is reasonable chasing down certificate renewals (both before and after expiration) and have setup a homelab CA before, so I was somewhat familiar with the content. This book filled in a lot of gaps, and after reading it I feel much more comfortable with my understanding of TLS, and also have a valuable reference going forward.
