OPERATIONAL SECURITY STANDARDS & USER SAFETY
Security Architecture
Torzon Market is built with a "Security First" philosophy. Unlike older generation marketplaces that relied on simple PHP scripts, Torzon utilizes a distributed backend architecture designed to resist censorship, DDoS attacks, and deanonymization attempts. Our priority is protecting user data and ensuring Torzon is safe for all anonymous commerce.
The platform enforces strict OpSec (Operational Security) rules not just for users, but for the server infrastructure itself. We employ custom-coded EndGame DDoS mitigation, which filters malicious traffic before it reaches the core application. This ensures that while other markets go offline, Torzon remains accessible.
- No JavaScript: The core market functions entirely without JavaScript to prevent browser fingerprinting and XSS attacks.
- Auto-Wiping: Chat logs, order details, and image metadata are automatically purged from the servers 72 hours after order finalization.
- Monero Integration: Native support for XMR ensures financial privacy that Bitcoin cannot provide.
PGP Encryption & 2FA
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is not optional on Torzon; it is the backbone of your safety. We have implemented mandatory PGP 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) for all vendors and highly recommend it for buyers.
Without PGP, your communications are vulnerable. If you are new to the darknet, you must learn to use tools like Kleopatra (Windows) or GPG Keychain (macOS). Never use online PGP tools, as they store your private keys.
Verify The Torzon Key
Below is the official Torzon Market Public Key. You should import this key into your PGP software. We use this key to sign all our official onion mirrors and announcements. If a message is not signed by this key, it is a scam.
(Note: Always verify the full key fingerprint on reputable forums like Dread before trusting it.)
Anti-Phishing Defense
The biggest threat to Torzon users is not law enforcement, but Phishing. Scammers create fake versions of Torzon (Mirror sites) that look identical to the real site but steal your login credentials and deposit funds.
2. The site asks for your PIN immediately after login.
3. The PGP 2FA message cannot be decrypted with your private key.
4. The Onion Address is not listed on our Official Mirrors Page.
The Golden Rule: Always verify the onion URL. Torzon provides a signed message on the login page. You should copy this message and verify the PGP signature. If the signature is valid, you are on the real Torzon official site. If it is invalid, leave immediately.
Cold Storage & Wallet Isolation
We understand that trusting a marketplace with your funds is a risk. To mitigate this, Torzon uses a complex Cold Storage system.
When you deposit Bitcoin or Monero, funds are not kept on the web server. Instead, they are forwarded to a "Hot Wallet" for immediate processing, and then swept into offline "Cold Wallets" (air-gapped machines) at regular intervals. This means that even if the Torzon servers were hacked or seized by the FBI/Europol, the attackers would not be able to access the bulk of the user funds.
Furthermore, for Vendor Bonds and Escrow, we utilize Multi-Signature (MultiSig) technology where applicable, ensuring that no single party has total control over large sums of money.
Warrant Canary
A Warrant Canary is a statement confirming that we have NOT been compromised, served with a secret warrant, or forced to log user data by any government agency. If this section disappears or the date is not updated within 14 days, assume the market is compromised.
Official Statement
As of the date below, Torzon Market has NOT received any National Security Letters, FISA warrants, or any other legal demands that would compromise the privacy of our users. We remain in full control of our infrastructure and signing keys.
OCTOBER 24, 2024SHA-256 BLOCK HASH: 000000000000000000034a7... (Bitcoin Block #813452)
We update this canary every two weeks using the hash of the most recent Bitcoin block to prove the date. Stay safe, stay anonymous.
