That strikes me as an unrealistic goal.
A better goal would be to learn the basics first.

At a mere 200 pages, there's no way a book on this huge topic will do any serious amount of diving into it. Why the page limit?

Sorry, but you won't be able to find such a magic book.
In networking, and specially with network security, it is all hands-on learning, it will take years of experience, with success and lots of failures to learn what you are doing. Should be doing. Or not.

I got simple network code running fairly quickly using the microsoft website documentation for the language I was using. C# at that time. That was even easier than reading a book about it.

It seems you finally caved this time. But answer me this: can a fossil hunter who works in the sun ever be a pale-ontolgist? Bone-ous points if you're correct!

Just saw that Outlook Express was being removed from Win 10 in the 21H1 update[^]. Brought back fond memories of my early days configuring the POP3 and SMTP servers even though I had no clue what I was doing.

Good grief, I thought that had been vaped long ago.
|

Right!

Me too! In 2001 I wrote (in VB5, later VB6, and VB.Net) a DLL component that could read and extract the folder/message structure of Outlook Express .DBX files. Virtually nothing else did that, and none as a programmable component. Sold as shareware for about 10 years, but haven't sold a copy in a long while. Maybe if Win10 support is finally ending I'll get some takers!

Ah, fond memories indeed. I collect vintage computers. My most recent acquisition is a RadioShack TRS-80 MC-10[^]. I also have a collection of old operating systems in virtual machines. I can go back and boot one of those things up and remember how much simpler it was.

Memories, like the corners of my mind....
The first computer I ever programmed was a TRS-80. Good times.

I still have a fully functional TRS-80 Model 100.
