🧅 Tor Network
The Tor network enables anonymous communication by routing traffic through multiple encrypted layers. Understanding how Tor works, from entry nodes to exit nodes, is fundamental to anonymous browsing. Marketplaces like DrugHub rely entirely on Tor's .onion services for operational security.
Our Tor guide covers browser configuration, bridge usage for censored networks, and best practices for staying anonymous. Hidden services, circuit isolation, three-hop routing—all explained. Traffic analysis becomes nearly impossible when done right.

🔑 PGP Encryption
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) provides end-to-end encryption that even the platform operators cannot break. When you encrypt a message with someone's public key, only their private key can decrypt it. This is how the marketplace enforces secure communications between buyers and vendors.
Master key generation, message encryption and decryption, signature verification, and key management. PGP isn't just recommended for anonymous marketplaces—it's mandatory. Understanding why makes you a safer user.

💰 Cryptocurrency Privacy
Not all cryptocurrencies are created equal for privacy. Bitcoin's transparent blockchain makes every transaction traceable, while Monero implements ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions to ensure complete privacy. The marketplace exclusively uses Monero for exactly this reason.
Learn why blockchain analysis can deanonymize Bitcoin users, how Monero's cryptographic innovations protect you, and best practices for secure cryptocurrency transactions.

🎭 OPSEC Principles
Operational security (OPSEC) is the practice of protecting information that could be used against you. It includes compartmentalization, need-to-know principles, and assuming compromise. Even perfect encryption fails if you leak metadata or make social engineering mistakes.
Discover identity separation techniques, metadata stripping, secure communication channels, and the importance of physical security alongside digital protections.

💻 Secure Operating Systems
Your operating system is your foundation. Tails OS boots from USB and leaves no trace, routing all connections through Tor automatically. Whonix uses virtualization to force all network traffic through the Tor gateway, making accidental clearnet leaks impossible.
Learn about amnesic systems, persistent storage encryption, Qubes OS compartmentalization, and choosing the right OS for your threat model.
