Single reference address used in our research to demonstrate verification techniques. Never type onion addresses manually — copy and verify PGP signatures.

Third-party address for research illustration. Verify independently and follow your local laws.

How Verification Works

Onion address verification workflow for darknet researchers

Why One Reference Matters

Listing many mirrors confuses researchers and helps phishers. We study one reference address and teach how to check its PGP-signed mirror list, rather than publishing rotating gateway lists.

PGP Verification Ritual

Import the research public key, fetch mirrors.asc, run gpg --verify mirrors.asc. If the fingerprint mismatches, treat the page as a phishing clone and close the session. Learn more in our research guide.

Phishing Red Flags

Look-alike clearnet domains, missing PGP blocks, JavaScript demands, and password reuse prompts are common clone tactics. Cross-check with community reports on r/darknet and background on darknets.

Copy, don't type. Verify, don't trust.
