Security & Operational Protocols

The foundational principle of accessing hidden services like TorZon is the complete separation of your physical identity from your digital persona. Data leakage often occurs through behavioral patterns rather than technical exploits.

• Never reuse credentials: Do not use usernames or passwords that have ever been used on the clearnet (Reddit, Twitter, Forums).
• Zero Personal Data: Never discuss your location, age, gender, or profession. Even approximate data can be used for correlation attacks.
• Compartmentalization: Use a dedicated operating system (like Tails OS) booting from a USB drive to ensure no data persists on your hard drive.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is not optional. It is the only barrier between your data and interception. TorZon Market architecture requires 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) via PGP for all logins.

Client-Side Encryption Only

Never use "Auto-Encrypt" checkboxes on any market website. This relies on the server to perform encryption, meaning the server sees the plaintext. Always encrypt messages locally on your own device using software like Kleopatra or GPG4Win before pasting the ciphertext into the browser.

Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks are common in the onion network. Adversaries create clone sites that look identical to TorZon but steal your credentials.

Verification Protocol

1. Import the official TorZon Market public key into your PGP keychain.
2. When accessing a mirror, look for the signed message provided by the server.
3. Copy the signed message and verify the signature locally.
4. If the signature is invalid, leave the site immediately.

Do not trust links from unverified sources such as Reddit, random wikis, or YouTube comments. Only use links signed by the market's official key.

Blockchain analysis has advanced significantly. Bitcoin (BTC) is a public ledger and is not inherently anonymous.
