Security Center
DrugHub Market is built on a "Zero Trust" architecture. However, your personal security depends on your operational habits. Follow these four pillars of OpSec to ensure a secure experience.
01. Identity Protection
The "Golden Rule" of darknet access is the complete separation of your online identity from your physical identity.
- Separate Identities: Never use a handle (username) that you have used on the clearnet, Reddit, Discord, or forums.
- No Credential Reuse: DrugHub uses key-based auth, but if you communicate via Jabber/XMPP, never reuse passwords.
- Metadata Leaks: Never upload photos taken with a smartphone. They contain EXIF data (GPS coordinates). Strip all metadata first.
02. Link Verification
Phishing is the #1 threat. Attackers create fake login pages to steal credentials. You must verify that you are on the real DrugHub Market.
How to Prevent MITM Attacks:
- Import the official DrugHub Market PGP Key (available on the market or trusted directories).
- When accessing the site, copy the PGP signed message on the landing page.
- Verify the signature using Kleopatra or GPG.
- CRITICAL: Ensure the onion URL mentioned inside the signed message matches the URL in your browser exactly.
Note: DrugHub's individual mirrors are signed specifically for your session. Always verify before depositing.
03. Operational Security
Tor Security Level
Set Tor Browser security slider to "Safest". This disables JavaScript completely. DrugHub is designed to function 100% without JavaScript. This prevents browser fingerprinting and exploit execution.
Cryptocurrency Hygiene
Never send coins directly from a KYC exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) to DrugHub Market.
04. PGP Encryption
Never rely on "Auto-Encrypt" checkboxes. Always encrypt your address manually using the vendor's public PGP key before pasting it into the order form.
Version: GnuPG v2
hQEMAw+Jk8... [ENCRYPTED DATA] ...
...s9f7a6d9s8f7...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
If the market is seized, unencrypted messages are readable by law enforcement. PGP encrypted messages are mathematically impossible to crack.
