OPERATIONAL SECURITY PROTOCOL

This manual outlines the mandatory steps to access the **Drughub darknet market** without compromising your anonymity. Failure to follow these steps may result in Deanonymization.

01. INTRODUCTION

**Drughub Market** operates on the Tor network (The Onion Router). Unlike clearweb sites, it requires specific software to resolve **.onion** addresses. This guide will walk you through setting up a secure environment using Tails OS or Tor Browser.

/// PRO TIP: Never use a VPN with Tor unless you are an advanced user who understands bridge configurations. Tor over VPN can sometimes compromise privacy.

02. SOFTWARE PREREQUISITES

Before attempting to use a **drughub darkweb link**, ensure you have the following:

Tor Browser: Download only from the official project site (torproject.org).
PGP Client: Kleopatra (Windows) or GPG Suite (Mac). Essential for 2FA.
KeePassXC: Do not save passwords in your browser. Use an offline password manager.

03. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION

Once Tor is installed, you must configure it for maximum security level ("Safest"). This disables JavaScript globally.

Why Disable JavaScript?

Many **drughub market** exploits rely on JS to leak your IP address. To disable it:


                    Tor Browser -> Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Security Level -> Safest

After securing the browser, navigate to our Official Mirrors Page to get a verified **drughub onion** address.

04. PGP ENCRYPTION & 2FA

Creating an account on **Drughub** requires a PGP public key. This is used for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Without it, your account can be easily bruteforced.

STEP A

Generate a new Key Pair in Kleopatra (4096-bit RSA recommended).

STEP B

Copy your "Public Key" block and paste it into the Drughub registration form.

STEP C

Decrypt the challenge message sent by the server to verify ownership.

05. CRYPTOCURRENCY (XMR)

Bitcoin (BTC) is transparent. All transactions are traceable on the public ledger. For true anonymity on **Drughub shop**, use **Monero (XMR)**.

XMR uses Ring Signatures to hide the sender, amount, and receiver. Always convert BTC to XMR before sending funds to your market wallet.

06. AVOIDING PHISHING

The most common way users lose funds is through fake links. A phishing **drughub url** looks identical to the real site but steals your login details.

ALWAYS verify the mirror URL against the PGP signature provided on our Links Page.
