Mars Market Link: Verified Onion Address & Mirror List

Search engines index phishing clones of Mars Market right next to the legitimate mirrors, and the two look identical when you connect. The damage shows up later. This independent resource covers link verification and personal security: guides built from Dread and Pitch materials, verified addresses on this page, and step-by-step OpSec practices to keep your data out of the wrong hands.

Link provenance check

How to check a Mars Market link before you click

Phishing clones of Mars Market exist. The four steps below are the minimum check before using any onion address, whether it came from this page or anywhere else.

  1. 01
    Start here, not in search. Links from Google and Bing are unreliable. Search engines index phishing clones alongside legitimate mirrors, and you can't tell them apart at a glance. Use only addresses from verified resources.
  2. 02
    Cross-check with PGP. Every official Mars Market mirror is announced via a PGP-signed message on Dread d/MarsMarket. Compare the address you have against the latest signed announcement. If the fingerprint doesn't match, don't use the address. The full procedure — fingerprint retrieval, GnuPG and Kleopatra methods — is in the Mars Market PGP verification guide.
  3. 03
    Check the status above. The mirror list at the top of this page shows the current verified status of each address, with the date of last manual confirmation.
  4. 04
    Use a dedicated browser. Never open onion addresses in a standard browser. Tor Browser is the minimum; Tails OS provides a hardened environment with no persistent state. Configuration steps are in the Mars Market security guide.
