OPSEC Best Practices

🔒 Essential Security Practices

  • Use Tor Browser: Always access darknet markets through the official Tor Browser. Never use regular browsers or VPNs over Tor.
  • PGP Encryption: Learn and use PGP encryption for all sensitive communications. Verify vendor PGP signatures.
  • 2FA Authentication: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on all market accounts using TOTP apps like Aegis or andOTP.
  • Cryptocurrency Privacy: Use Monero (XMR) for maximum transaction privacy. If using Bitcoin, always use mixers/tumblers.
  • Separate Identities: Never link your darknet identity to your real identity. Use unique usernames, passwords, and PGP keys.
  • Verify Links: Always verify onion links from multiple trusted sources. Bookmark verified links and check them carefully.
  • Phishing Awareness: Be extremely cautious of phishing attempts. Check URLs carefully and never disable security features.
  • Operational Security: Never discuss real-world details, locations, or personal information on darknet platforms.

⚠️ Red Flags to Watch For

  • Sites asking you to disable JavaScript or other security features
  • Markets with no escrow system or mandatory FE (Finalize Early)
  • Vendors with no transaction history or reviews
  • Deals that seem too good to be true
  • Requests for personal information or direct contact outside the platform
  • Markets that suddenly change their onion URLs without announcement
  • Pressure tactics forcing quick decisions or payments
