You would?  I'd start with the Security chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook.
:-)

Then I'd look at Jan Koum's tutorial, which is linked off the security

There's a lot of overlap.

With this background under your belt, the security advisories are going
to be a whole lot more useful. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
