📊 Status Dashboard

High-level availability snapshot for tracked mirrors. Indicators reflect the last successful probe, HTTP/TLS sanity checks, and basic content integrity signals. This is a human-readable roll-up; the detailed log is below.

Primary Mirror A

Online

Last checked: 2025-08-26 10:35 UTC

Signals: HTTP 200 · TLS OK · Hash match

Primary Mirror B

Online

Last checked: 2025-08-26 10:33 UTC

Signals: HTTP 200 · TLS OK · Minor DOM drift

Backup Mirror

Online

Last checked: 2025-08-26 10:30 UTC

Signals: HTTP 200 · TLS OK · Hash match

📜 Verification Log

Structured log of probe events. Each entry includes a timestamp, truncated content hash (or key), and a short note about detected changes. This log underpins our “trust but verify” posture and is suitable for reproducible OSINT workflows.

Date Key/Hash Changes Detected
2025-08-26 e1a7…c9f3 No drift; headers stable.
2025-08-25 9bd2…114a TLS cert renewed; issuer same.
2025-08-24 5c61…77de Minor DOM change (footer year).
2025-08-23 7f10…2b01 No changes detected.

🔬 Methodology

We cross-reference official PGP-signed messages, archival snapshots, and machine checks. Automated probes do uptime and header sanity; manual review inspects DOM drift and branding inconsistencies typical for phishing kits. Critical content remains visible without JS.

  1. Multi-source corroboration: PGP posts, developer notes, independent OSINT write-ups.
  2. Automated signals: HTTP code, TLS validity, content hash of key sections.
  3. Manual triage: Visual/brand diffs, redirect behavior, suspicious parameterization.
  4. Audit trail: Every probe recorded in the verification log above.

🚨 Report Phishing

If you spot a suspicious mirror or impersonation attempt, report it here. Submissions are reviewed and, if confirmed, reflected in the dashboard and verification log.

🚀 About TorZon Market

TorZon Market represents the next evolution in secure darknet commerce, built from the ground up with user privacy, security, and transparency as core principles. Our platform combines cutting-edge encryption technologies with an intuitive interface.

Founded on the belief that privacy is a fundamental right, TorZon prioritizes user anonymity. Security extends beyond encryption, incorporating anti-phishing measures, multi-factor authentication, and escrow systems that protect both buyers and vendors.

Community-driven governance and transparent operations underpin trust. Public summaries of changes (see Timeline) provide visibility without exposing sensitive operational detail.

  • Incident Transparency — SRE Best Practices — URL — Accessed 2025-08-26 — Communicating change safely.

🛡️ Advanced Security Features

Security forms the backbone of TorZon Market’s infrastructure: mandatory PGP for communications, 2FA with PGP keys, and layered defenses against impersonation. Anti-phishing UX uses copy-only outbound links to reduce misclick risk.

Additional controls include rate-limiting, content integrity checks, and change alerts surfaced through the verification log.

📝 Registration & Access Process

The registration process balances privacy with abuse prevention: unique credentials + mnemonic recovery phrase, with staged verification (including CAPTCHAs) to deter automated sign-ups.

Store the recovery phrase offline. Platform operators cannot restore access without it — a deliberate privacy measure.

💰 Cryptocurrency Support & Escrow

TorZon supports BTC and XMR to accommodate different privacy and settlement needs. Confirmations: ~1 for BTC crediting; ~10 for XMR. Unique deposit addresses minimize linkage; avoid reusing addresses.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Credited after ~1 confirmation

Widely supported settlement asset

Monero (XMR)

Credited after ~10 confirmations

Enhanced on-chain privacy

Wallet management interface

Escrow holds funds until obligations are met. Cold storage, multi-sig patterns, and periodic reviews help reduce custody risk.

🏪 Vendor Guidelines & Standards

Vendor standards emphasize authenticity, accurate listings, and secure comms (PGP mandatory). A security deposit signals commitment and funds dispute handling. Prohibited categories remain excluded; the platform communicates these boundaries clearly.

Rating signals reflect fulfillment, responsiveness, and documented resolution outcomes rather than raw sales volume.

⚖️ Dispute Resolution & Community Features

Disputes pause auto-finalization and open a private channel with a mediator. Evidence includes message transcripts, tracking data, and listing details. Outcomes are recorded for accountability and future reference.

Community features (e.g., raffles) are transparently documented with verifiable randomness summaries when applicable.
