in your case i would start with the freebsd handbook chapter 8 security
then man security, man ipfw, man ipfilter. it has absoloutly no sense to
copy some firewall scripts from somewhere if you don't understand what
they are doing and why. further is there no sense to concentrate on
internal attacks if can't even master the externel ones!
cheers
