Fall 2026 OpSec checklist for darknet markets
Before you open any dark market link this fall, run this short list. It is educational hygiene — not a shopping guide.
- Boot Tails or Whonix — not a daily-driver OS
- Tor Browser only; security slider toward Safest when studying unknown pages
- Confirm onions via the September links re-check and PGP
- Refuse unsolicited “support” DMs (scam note)
- Prefer Monero when modelling payment privacy
Per-market notes: TorZon · Nexus · WTN · Dark Matter · Black Ops
