That's a big topic, and this list is actually the list of people who want
to prevent other people/bots/etc from getting around a firewall.
Hopefully you realized this beforehand, and are approaching this subject
in order to learn how to protect better your computer assets, and not how
to break into others secured systems.
Answers to your questions are to be found all over the web, if you just
take the time to look. Obviously you know that there are many
systems connected to the net that do not have firewalls at all, but
since you're concerned with network security to protect yourself, your
system is not one of those. Right?

This should be enough to get you started. Obviously the aol address you
are using is one of your many accounts, in order to safeguard your
privacy, and you access it via a firewalled linux/browser client and not
directly from an unfirewalled win9x machine, right?
Your concern about how to protect yourself is admirable. No doubt you are
curious about how to break in to your own linux firewall, in order to
learn and to be secure, and keep clueless script kidz out of your system,
right?
keep in touch with the list :) we're here to help.
