Telling us what you expect "ss" to do might elicit more helpful responses. Does this help?

The ss (socket statistics) command is a powerful tool in Linux used for examining sockets. As an incident responder, understanding the ss command is crucial for analyzing network connections and traffic, particularly in identifying and investigating potentially malicious activities.
 
You're aware this is not a Linux system, right? Just in case this isn't obvious: FreeBSD's network stack is very different from the Linux one and tools like this need system-specific APIs (far outside the POSIX sockets APIs) to do their jobs. There's no way this could ever work on FreeBSD.

I'd suggest you tell what kind of statistics you're interested in. The canonical tool to examine sockets on FreeBSD is sockstat(1).

The ss utility allows you to view information about the sockets used in the system. I need socket detailled information

This is why humans can't understand each other. In this case, I put the responsibility on the second human, by the way.

I'm going to do an interpreting job now.

Human OP: The rest of the humans in this chat have made it clear that there is no tool like the one you are referring to in FreeBSD. You can get a lot of information about sockets, sure, but other tools will provide it to you, especially socstat(1). So you should either:

  1. Tell the other helpful humans what specific information is most relevant to you so they can kindly guide you further.
  2. Study the man pages and other documentation about the tools they have already recommended to you.
