What are darknet markets?

Darknet markets (also called DNMs) are marketplaces that operate as Tor .onion services. This site covers them for educational and OpSec research only.

How do I enter a dark market?

Use a secure OS such as Tails, open Tor Browser, verify a dark market link with PGP-signed sources, then follow OpSec practices. See the how-to-enter guide on Dark Info.

Where can I find a dark market link?

Use verified directories and PGP-signed mirror lists. Cross-check every onion URL. Dark Info maintains educational market pages for TorZon, Nexus, Dark Matter, We The North, and Black Ops.

October research snapshot

This revision does not retire the September mirrors. It records that the stored onion sets still match, and that “updated for October” posts are the main phishing window. Compare every host to the market page, keep the older September articles as archive, and treat a one-character difference as a different site.
