Kerberos Market Mirror functions as the decentralized gateway for the Kerberos darknet ecosystem. It utilizes the Darktrain Express system to provide hourly updated, cryptographically verified onion links (v3). It serves as the primary failsafe against DDoS attacks, ensuring persistent access to the marketplace via the main address 2oqj36j6io3456cf5uvkur5rfstawppmx25ityc2q7rlstymp26da2qd.onion.

Access is strictly limited to the Tor Network. Users must utilize the Tor Browser (version 11.5+) to resolve .onion top-level domains. For operational security (OpSec), Javascript must be disabled (Security Level: Safest). Do not attempt to access via clear-net proxies or VPN-over-Tor configurations that compromise packet timing analysis.

Trust assumes verification. Never use a link without verifying the PGP signature. The official Kerberos Administration Public Key is available on the /pgp.txt endpoint. Upon login, the server presents a unique PGP-signed challenge. Decrypt this message using your private key; if the signature is invalid, terminate the connection immediately.

The Cataclysm Protocol is an autonomous defensive subsystem triggered by network anomalies or potential seizure vectors. It initiates rapid server migration, database sharding, and ephemeral key rotation. In the event of a total network lock-down, this mirror will broadcast the new signed PGP paths for reconnection.

Yes. To prevent phishing and unauthorized account takeovers, PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is enforced for all vendor accounts and highly recommended for buyer accounts. Without PGP 2FA, your account security relies solely on a password, which is insufficient for darknet operations.

We operate a zero-knowledge infrastructure. Server logs are disabled at the kernel level. Transaction data is encrypted and automatically purged after the finalize timer (14 days) expires. Messages between users are encrypted by default, but we always advise manual PGP encryption for all sensitive communications.

Bitcoin (BTC) ledgers are transparent and traceable via chain analysis firms. Monero (XMR) utilizes Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses to obfuscate sender, receiver, and amount. For maximum anonymity, Kerberos enforces XMR for sensitive categories. BTC is supported but requires internal CoinJoin mixing, which incurs time delays.

Funds are not sent directly to vendors. They are locked in a 2-of-3 Multi-Signature address generated for the specific order. The funds can only be released if 2 of the 3 parties (Buyer, Vendor, Market Admin) sign the transaction. This ensures that in the event of a dispute, the Administration can mediate and direct funds appropriately.

No. Kerberos Market operates on a unique zero-fee structure for deposits and withdrawals. You only pay the network miner fees associated with the blockchain. The market generates revenue solely through vendor commissions (4-5%) on completed sales.

If a dispute is opened before the auto-finalize timer expires, the Admin reviews the trade history, vendor statistics, and provided evidence (encrypted photos/videos). The Admin then casts the deciding vote in the Multi-Sig escrow to release funds to the rightful party. Scammers are banned immediately.

Harm reduction is a core tenant. We strictly prohibit: weaponry/explosives, hitman services, fentanyl/carfentanyl (and analogues), poisons, and child exploitation material (CP). Listing these items results in an immediate permanent ban and blacklisting across the coalition network.
