I'm asking for your help to get me started. I work in backend, it's just that i've never tried to find "exploit" and "do crimes" before, i guess, so i'm just asking here in case you can "get me up to speed" sort of. I use linux and i am fairly competent in linux and programming. I know basic networking but i could learn more. I'm leaning more on the programming side than the network or sysadmin. Because i'm just starting, so far i have automated the creation of vms on linode and configuring the vms with bash scripts and ssh. And that's it. I've never been into vpns at home, but obviously im going to need a vpn because i dont want to leak my ip address, so im thinking about buying a vpn, looking into tor, or learning openvpn and rolling my own vpn.

please give me project ideas perhaps like a website with list of corrupt politicians from my country.

So... i'm asking for your help to get me started quicker if that make sense. i'm from cambodia btw

There is a book bundle on Humble Bundle right now that goes into security and hacking, if that's what you're interested in.

You're unlikely to receive any support, at least publicly, for how to do anything potentially illegal. I would recommend just not doing anything illegal or unethical anyway. If you're interested from a security perspective, find a cybersec community, and you may get more support there.
