Customer Guide


ACCESSING DRUGHUB


DrugHub implements a robust access system to enhance security and prevent phishing and DDoS attacks. Each user on the platform is assigned a unique access .onion address. To obtain this address, users need to visit a LDN (Link Directory Node) on either https://drughub.su or http://drughubb7lmqymhpq24wmhihloii3dlp3xlqhz356dqdvhmkv2ngf4id.onion

Once on the LDN page, users will need to complete a CAPTCHA and press a button to generate a new mirror. The generated mirror is signed and should always be verified against the platform's PGP key to ensure its authenticity.

Importantly, the assigned mirror is tied to each user individually, meaning only the user can access it. This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Vendors, on the other hand, are assigned Permanent Mirrors. These mirrors are exclusively accessible by vendors and users who have established transactions on the marketplace. This eliminates the need for vendors and qualified users to fetch a new URL for each interaction, streamlining the process.


CAPTCHA


Upon accessing DrugHub, users will encounter a Captcha challenge designed to verify their human identity. Within this challenge, a transparent circle will be displayed, allowing users to view the underlying layer. The task at hand involves aligning the top circle layer with the bottom layer before the Captcha timeout bar is completely depleted. Subsequently, users may proceed by clicking the continue button in order to gain access to the marketplace.
