PGP School

Lessons, one swipe at a time

Lesson 1 PGP basics What PGP actually does for a WeTheNorth visitor PGP is how a WeTheNorth market link can be proven genuine and how private messages stay private. A plain-language starting point. Lesson 2 PGP basics Choosing a PGP tool on Windows, macOS or Linux Kleopatra, GPG Suite and the gpg command line all do the same job. Which one suits a first-time user and where to get it safely. Lesson 3 PGP basics Public and private keys, explained without the maths A short explanation of PGP key pairs using everyday comparisons, and the single rule that keeps your private key safe. Lesson 4 Keys and fingerprints Creating your first PGP key pair, step by step How to generate a modern PGP key pair in Kleopatra or gpg, which settings to choose and what to do immediately afterwards. Lesson 5 Keys and fingerprints What a key fingerprint is and why you compare it Key IDs can collide; fingerprints practically cannot. Why the full fingerprint is what you check before trusting a WeTheNorth signature. Lesson 6 Keys and fingerprints Importing the WeTheNorth signing key safely How to import a published WeTheNorth public key, confirm its fingerprint and mark it so that future signatures can be checked quickly. Lesson 7 Keys and fingerprints Verifying a signed WeTheNorth market URL message The exact steps to verify a signed message that contains a WeTheNorth market URL, and how to read the result your PGP tool shows. Lesson 8 Two-factor login How PGP two-factor login works on onion markets Many onion services offer PGP-based two-factor authentication. What happens during the login challenge and why it stops password thieves. Lesson 9 Two-factor login Turning on PGP two-factor login without locking yourself out The safe order for enabling PGP two-factor login: upload the right key, test decryption and keep your backup ready. Lesson 10 Two-factor login When a two-factor challenge looks wrong A challenge that will not decrypt or that contains unexpected instructions can be a sign of a fake WeTheNorth onion. What to do. Lesson 11 Mistakes to avoid Accidentally pasting a private key: what to do next Pasting a private key into a form or chat is a serious mistake but a recoverable one. The steps to take right away. Lesson 12 Mistakes to avoid Why unsigned WeTheNorth mirror posts should not be trusted Most fake WeTheNorth mirror addresses spread through unsigned posts. Why a missing signature is the most useful warning sign you have. Lesson 13 Mistakes to avoid Losing a PGP key: backups you should have made yesterday A lost private key means lost two-factor access.

Questions about WeTheNorth links and PGP

Which WeTheNorth link should I open?

The main onion in the status panel when it shows Confirmed. Mirrors are for busy periods.

Are wethenorth market and we the north market the same?

Yes. They are two spellings of the same name; the wethenorth market url and the we the north market url point to the same onion address.

Why does a slot say Unconfirmed?

Its address has not yet been found inside a valid signature from the known key.

Do I need PGP to use this site?

No, but learning the basics lets you confirm a WeTheNorth market link yourself instead of trusting anyone.

Do you store data about visitors?

No accounts, no forms and no tracking scripts. Everything here is read-only.

Is this the WeTheNorth market?

No. WeTheNorth Aurora is an independent learning site and is not run by WeTheNorth.

WeTheNorth Aurora is run independently and speaks for nobody at WeTheNorth. Listing an address is neither an endorsement nor a promise about what happens there. Onion services are treated differently from one jurisdiction to the next, so check what applies to you.
