Accessing the Kerberos / Nexus Market
This guide describes how to establish a secure connection to the Nexus Darknet Market using Tor Browser, PGP‑verified mirrors, and Kerberos OpSec recommendations. The purpose is to guarantee privacy, avoid phishing, and maintain safe session routing.
Install Tor Browser
Download directly from torproject.org. Verify the PGP signature of the package. Ensure no extensions or scripts are added.
Isolate Environment
Use Tails OS, Whonix, or Qubes OS AppVM for connection separation. Configure firewall rules to restrict traffic to Tor ports only and disable clearnet leaks.
Connect to Verified Onion
Official Entry
http://nexusmarketofficial.onion
Always access this mirror from inside Tor. Bookmark only this verified URL.
PGP Verification
Check the announcement signature matches the Kerberos fingerprint:
9A3C 1F58 889D 2C9E 7F92 AB12 7E9A 5AA4 8D3F 9E77
Login Safely
Nexus Market supports optional PGP login challenge — it encrypts a challenge message with your public key to confirm account ownership. Always enable this feature under “Security ► PGP Login”. If a mirror ever skips this step — stop and re‑verify the onion address from the Directory.
Wallet & Payments
All Kerberos—Nexus environments are XMR‑only. This means that user wallets are end‑to‑end shielded by Monero privacy addresses. Use a separate wallet for on‑market and off‑market funds. Guides for wallet hardening and key export are found in the Security Section.
