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.
