Read some books and papers on the subject. Cheswick and Bellovin book.
Chapman and Zwicki book. Early papers by Cheswick and by Ranum. Early
papers on attacks by Bellovin. All are still useful and, in my opinion, for
the basis for understanding the fundamentals. And the fundementals have not
changed. Not at all.
