[OPSEC_PROTOCOL]
01

Configure Tor Browser

Download Tor Browser exclusively from torproject.org. Verify the PGP signature before installation. Set security level to "Safest" in about:preferences.

02

Verify .onion Addresses

Cross-reference addresses from multiple trusted sources. Check signed PGP canaries. Never trust links from forums, pastebins, or social media without verification.

03

Isolate Your Environment

Use Tails OS or Whonix for enhanced isolation. Never access clearnet accounts from the same session. Disable JavaScript unless absolutely required.

04

Secure Communications

Generate dedicated PGP keys with strong passphrases. Never reuse handles or keys across platforms. Assume all communications may be monitored.

05

Monitor Canary Signals

Check warrant canaries before each session. Subscribe to market-specific alert channels. Exit immediately if canary expiration is detected.
