Secure Access Protocols

This document outlines the standard operating procedures for establishing a secure connection to the Nexus Onion Link infrastructure. Following these steps mitigates common attack vectors such as phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

INFO: This guide assumes basic familiarity with cryptocurrency wallet management.

01

Environment Configuration TOR BROWSER

Security begins before you connect. Ensure you are using the official Tor Browser downloaded directly from the Tor Project. Never use a standard browser with a proxy.

  • Launch Tor Browser.
  • Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security.
  • Set Security Level to Safer or Safest.
  • Warning: Enabling JavaScript creates a potential attack surface. Ideally, disable it completely.
02

Link Verification PGP SIG

Phishing is the most common threat. Never use links found on clear-web wikis or forums without verifying the PGP signature. Nexus Onion Link provides mirrors signed by the administration key.

03

Account & Mnemonic CRITICAL

Upon registration, the system generates a random Mnemonic Phrase. This is cryptographically tied to your account.

DO NOT LOSE THIS

Admins cannot reset passwords. If you lose your password or PGP key, the mnemonic is your ONLY recovery method. Store it offline (paper).

BEST PRACTICE

Create a unique Username and a strong, random Password strictly for this site. Do not reuse credentials from other platforms.

04

PGP Encryption & 2FA ENCRYPTION

After logging in, immediately navigate to Settings and add your Public PGP Key.

  1. Generate a PGP key pair on your local machine (using GPG, Kleopatra, etc.).
  2. Paste your Public Key into the user settings panel.
  3. Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA).
  4. On next login, the site will present an encrypted message. Decrypt it with your private key to reveal the validation code.

* Without PGP 2FA, your account is vulnerable to phishing/stealer logs.

05

Wallet Architecture XMR / BTC

The nexus system utilizes a standard deposit wallet system.

Monero (XMR) - Recommended

XMR provides privacy by default. Ring signatures and stealth addresses obfuscate the transaction graph.

Bitcoin (BTC)

BTC is transparent. If using BTC, ensure coins are mixed or coinjoined before depositing to maintain operational security.

06

Escrow Protocol TRANSACTION

Never "Finalize Early" (FE) unless you have established trust with a specific entity. The escrow system holds funds until physical receipt of goods is confirmed.

  • Check vendor feedback and trust level.
  • Encrypt your shipping address with the vendor's PGP key manually.
  • Monitor order status for "Shipped".
  • Release escrow only after inspection.

Final Security Check

Always verify the URL in your browser bar matches the verified PGP-signed mirrors exactly. If the page asks for your mnemonic or PIN immediately upon login, IT IS A PHISHING SITE. Close the tab immediately.
