Operational Protocol
Sequence for secure connection and authentication to drughub-market.
Environment Config
Download the Tor Browser (Version 13.0+ required). Before navigating to any drughub-market onion link, modify your security settings:
- Set Security Level to "Safest" (Disables JS/SVG)
- Ensure System Clock is synced to UTC
- Do not maximize browser window (prevents fingerprinting)
Gateway Acquisition
Access the network only via cryptographically signed entry nodes. The address below is the primary verified V3 onion link for drughub-market access. Verify this string against the PGP signature found on our Mirrors page.
Handshake & DDoS
Initiate connection. Tor routing adds significant latency (2000-5000ms). Upon loading, you will encounter the mitigation layer.
Solve the captcha challenge. This is a computational proof-of-work to filter botnets. Once validated, you will be forwarded to the login interface. If the connection times out, generate a new Tor circuit (Ctrl+Shift+L) and retry.
Identity Generation
Select "Register". Create a pseudonym unrelated to any clear-web identity. The platform utilizes a Mnemonic Recovery System.
Critical Security Notice
You will be issued a 12-24 word Mnemonic Key. Write this down offline immediately. This key is the only mechanism to reset passwords or recover funds. Support staff cannot restore lost accounts without this key.
PGP 2FA Encryption
Post-registration, navigate to 'Settings' > 'Security'. Import your Public PGP Key. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
This ensures that every login attempt requires decrypting a random PGP message. This cryptographically proves ownership of the account and nullifies the risk of password interception or phishing.
