I first heard about it from this interview of a “security expert”.

The “Darknet Market Bible” is basically a comprehensive guide that explains how darknet markets operate. It covers:

  • Accessing the Dark Web: Instructions on using anonymity networks like Tor (The Onion Router) to access websites that are not available on the regular internet.
  • Cryptocurrency Usage: Guidance on using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for transactions, emphasizing anonymity and security.
  • Operational Security (OpSec): Tips on maintaining personal privacy and avoiding detection by law enforcement agencies.
  • Market Navigation: Information on how to find and use various darknet marketplaces, including setting up accounts and understanding vendor ratings.
  • Avoiding Scams and Threats: Advice on recognizing fraudulent listings, phishing attempts, and malware that are prevalent in these markets.

I suspect that there is a separate guide for buyers and sellers.

“The buyer’s DNM bible aims to be a complete guide that covers all steps that users have to take in order to buy securely from darknetmarkets.”

This stuff is just good to know, obviously not interested in engaging with it, at all; I am more interested in the measures they take to set up a private/secure environment.
