Everyone knows that PGP encryption is necessary for staying safe on Dark Net Markets. It's the only way to protect yourself from everything from jackboot 3-letter organizations to malicious exit nodes. But some people still don't use it.
We hope this guide puts an end to that problem. Included is a 36-page, completely original (except for 1 page and a couple pictures) step-by-step guide to using PGP on Windows, Mac and Linux. We believe that if this guide is publicly available more people will stay safe. So that's why we're giving it away for free here.
But we also put a lot of work into it. So any amount you can donate is appreciated and will help us make any updates that may become necessary along the way. We included the Bitcoin address you can make donations to in the book but we'll put it here as well: 1Bik3o59LhafpM1SJK8vQUuLk3MqqsX8rB
You will need the tor browser to access the link here.
UPDATE: We just updated the book with some correct information. But It looks like our old file host infotomb is down now, so the link will take you to a file hosting site called sendspace. It's not ideal, since sendspace may require javascript to run properly, but it will have to work for now. And who has heard of anyone getting in trouble for downloading a freakin book anyway?
Finally, we'd like to ask people to MESSAGE US IMMEDIATELY if the link stops working so we can post it somewhere else. We're not on reddit a lot but rest assure that we check our messages every time we do get on.
Stay safe!
EDIT: /u/CatLover99 brought up a good point about passphrases: you should never use a sentence found in lyrics, books, pop culture etc. So don't use for example Einstein's quote ""You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." However, this next play on that quote would be a very good passphrase choice: "U have 2 lern the rules of the gayme. & then U have 2 play bedder than any1 else."
Change some words to numbers. Even better, misspell some words. Make it long. But above all take xkcd's advice and make sure it's memorable. A misremembered passphrase is as useless to you as no password at all.
Don't forget to post this on /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs too!
