The Philosophy of Zero Trust
In the darknet ecosystem, trust is a vulnerability. At Torzon, we operate under a "Zero Trust" architecture. This means we design our systems assuming that any component could be compromised at any time. Instead of relying on hope, we rely on mathematics and rigorous protocol enforcement.
Security on Torzon Market is not a static feature; it is a continuous process of auditing, updating, and testing. From our Warrant Canary to our decentralized mirror network, every layer is built to withstand adversarial pressure from state-level actors, DDoS botnets, and phishing campaigns.
Warrant Canary & Integrity
A Warrant Canary is our method of communicating with users in the event of a gag order. If law enforcement were to seize our servers or force us to log data, they would likely forbid us from announcing it. To counter this, we update the message below every 14 days.
How to Verify: The message contains a reference to a recent Bitcoin block hash (proving it was written recently) and is signed with the Torzon Admin PGP Key. If the date is old, or the signature fails to verify, assume the market is compromised.
Infrastructure Hardening
Our backend is distributed across multiple hostile jurisdictions, ensuring that a physical raid in one location cannot take down the entire Torzon shop network.
EndGame DDoS Protection
We utilize a proprietary filter system based on the EndGame framework. This allows legit Tor traffic while dropping botnet packets before they reach the application layer.
V3 Onion Services
We strictly use V3 onion addresses (56 characters). The obsolete V2 protocol is blocked. V3 provides superior cryptography (ECC) and prevents address brute-forcing.
Cold Storage Wallets
98% of market funds are held in offline, air-gapped hardware wallets. The "Hot Wallet" on the server only contains enough XMR/BTC for pending withdrawals.
Automatic Data Scrubbing
Our "Janitor Script" runs hourly. It wipes metadata from uploaded images (EXIF), deletes resolved support tickets, and purges chat logs for finalized orders.
Anti-Phishing Protocols
Phishing is the #1 cause of account loss on the darkweb. Attackers create clones of the Torzon login page to steal credentials. We have implemented several countermeasures to protect you.
Furthermore, all official Torzon onion links are cryptographically signed. You can verify any URL by checking it against our PGP-signed mirrors list found on Dread or our official mirrors page.
Bug Bounty Program
Security is a community effort. We offer substantial rewards for whitehat hackers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in the Torzon platform.
- • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Rewards up to 10 XMR.
- • SQL Injection: Rewards up to 50 XMR.
- • Remote Code Execution (RCE): Rewards up to 150 XMR + Job Offer.
Please submit all reports via PGP-encrypted support ticket. Do not publicly disclose bugs until they are patched.
