What is Dark Matter Market?
Dark Matter Market is a relatively new Dark Web market that offers a wide variety of different products, ranging from drug related items to digital goods, counterfeit items as well as a lot of guides and tutorials, fraud related items and also Software and Malware.
One of the advantages of Dark Matter Market is that you are not required to register an account to access the site. That means you can simply visit the URL and check out their entire product portfolio without the need to register. You will also be able to use the advanced search features, you can search for origin country and to which countries it ships to. You can also narrow down your search by only listing offers that offer escrow, FE or MultiSig.
A unique feature of Dark Matter market is that you are able to bookmark any sub-site specifically for that market. So you can easily check back on listings that you buy frequently. Currently Dark Matter market only accepts Monero as currency.
Security Recommendations
Same as with all darknet sites the usual security recommendations apply. Most importantly: stay anonymous. Use the TOR browser only and don’t use the TOR browser for any regular (non-darknet) browsing.
Before visiting the site with the TOR browser, you should switch off JavaScript (Options -> Privacy & Security -> Security Level -> Switch to “Safest”). Dark Matter Market is explicitly designed so that you don’t need JavaScript which allows you to increase your security by switching it off.
Ideally, you have a dedicated system or at least a dedicated VM for all your darknet activities. Keep your darknet PGP keys and other credentials limited to that system only, do not mix it with any activities that would expose your identity.
Treat your dedicated system like a work-system: Only install the software necessary for your operations do not install anything for entertainment or other purposes. Subsequently, resist the urge to browse Twitter, Reddit or any other social media sites while you have downtime. For this always use your regular system.
For additional system security, we recommend you run a secure operating system like Tails or Whonix on your dedicated system for darknet activities. We also recommend using a VPN as an additional security measure since TOR will only anonymize your browsing sessions but not other traffic.
Especially when using any public WiFi hotspots you should always use a VPN when accessing the Internet since you don’t know whether the access point is compromised. A VPN ensures that all of your traffic, no matter what application, will always be strongly encrypted when passing the access point, this protecting yourself not only from eavesdropping but also possible identity theft.
