Operational Security (OpSec)
In the digital landscape of 2026, anonymity is a constant battle. Torzon Market provides the tools, but OpSec is a personal responsibility. This protocol is designed to mitigate the risks of correlation attacks, browser fingerprinting, and physical device compromise.
02. Monero Financial Hygiene
The switch to Monero (XMR) on Torzon Market was a fundamental security upgrade. To maintain this privacy, never reuse addresses. Every deposit on Torzon should come from a unique sub-address generated in your local wallet (Feather or GUI). Avoid "churning" on centralized exchanges; instead, use decentralized swaps (atomic swaps) to acquire your initial XMR. This ensures that the link between your fiat identity and your darknet capital is mathematically severed.
03. Anti-Forensics & Metadata
Metadata is the silent killer of anonymity. While Torzon Market scrubs EXIF data from product images, you must scrub metadata from any communications sent via PGP. Use tools like MAT2 (Metadata Cleanup Tool) before sending any files or images to vendors. Additionally, always use a non-persistent OS like Tails to ensure that no forensic artifacts (browser cache, cookies, swap files) remain on your physical hardware after a session.
04. The Tails/Whonix Standard
Running Tor on Windows is the most common mistake made by darknet users. Windows telemetry can bypass Tor proxy settings, revealing your real IP address to Microsoft or local ISPs. Torzon Security Policy mandates the use of Tails for all high-value transactions. Whonix is the preferred alternative for those requiring a virtualized environment with a dedicated Gateway/Workstation split, preventing any possibility of an IP leak through the application layer.
