Can someone who has read it post their review?
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).
- FlacoJones 6y agoJust 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.
- whydoyoucare 6y agoHmmm... for that kind of stuff, I've found sslshopper's page to be very useful. https://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-commands.html https://www.sslshopper.com/article-most-common-openssl-comma... And for the TLS handshake, this is incredibly useful: https://tls.ulfheim.net https://tls.ulfheim.net (The Illustrated TLS Connection). Towards the bottom of this page, you now have TLS 1.3 illustrated as well.
- rufius 6y agoEvery 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.
