DrugHub Security Architecture
No Passwords. Period.
Passwords are a security liability. People reuse them. They get phished. Databases leak. So DrugHub eliminated passwords entirely. Your PGP key IS your login. Nothing to remember, nothing to leak.
When you access DrugHub, you decrypt a challenge message with your private key. That proves you're you. Can't be phished because there's nothing to type. Can't be database-hacked because we don't store credentials. Simple.
Yeah, PGP has a learning curve. Worth it. Once set up, DrugHub login is actually faster than typing passwords. And infinitely more secure.
Nothing to Steal
Traditional markets store password hashes. DrugHub stores nothing useful to attackers. If someone compromised our entire database tomorrow, they'd get encrypted blobs and public keys. Useless.
Your private key stays on YOUR device. We never see it. Can't store what we never receive. This is why DrugHub security works - there's no central honeypot of credentials to attack.
Every session generates unique encryption. Messages are end-to-end encrypted. Even we can't read your communications. That's by design.
End-to-End Encryption
All DrugHub messages between you and vendors are encrypted. Support tickets too. We literally cannot read your conversations even if we wanted to. Your privacy is mathematically guaranteed.
Rotating Mirrors
DrugHub mirrors change regularly. Harder to DDoS, harder for phishers to impersonate. Static addresses are security risks. We rotate proactively.
Monero Only
Bitcoin is traceable. Every transaction, forever, on public blockchain. DrugHub uses only Monero - private by default. Your transactions stay yours.
Manual Verification
Withdrawals require manual verification. Yes, it's slower than instant. But it stops most account takeover attempts cold. Security > convenience.
DrugHub PGP Login System
Generate Your PGP Key
Before creating a DrugHub account, you need a PGP keypair. Use Kleopatra (Windows), GPG Suite (Mac), or command line GPG. Generate a 4096-bit RSA key. Give it a strong passphrase.
Your keypair has two parts: a public key (share with DrugHub) and a private key (NEVER share with anyone). The public key encrypts messages to you. Only your private key can decrypt them.
Don't have PGP? Online tools like onlinepgp.com work for getting started. But for real security, install local software. Your private key should never leave your device.
Register with Public Key
On DrugHub registration, you paste your public key. That's your identity now. DrugHub assigns you a random username (for display purposes) but your key is what actually identifies you.
DrugHub sends you an encrypted challenge - a message only your private key can decrypt. Decrypt it, paste back the verification code, done. This proves you actually control the key you submitted.
Login Process
Every DrugHub login works the same way. Enter your username. DrugHub sends an encrypted challenge. You decrypt it locally with your private key. Paste the code back. You're in.
This takes about 30 seconds once you're practiced. Faster than typing a password and infinitely more secure. Your passphrase stays on your device - DrugHub never sees it.
Session Security
Each DrugHub session gets unique encryption keys. Even if someone intercepted one session, previous and future sessions stay secure. We generate fresh keys constantly.
Sessions expire. You'll need to re-authenticate periodically. Annoying? Maybe. But it means stolen session cookies have limited value. Security tradeoffs.
PGP Login Benefits
- No password to phish
- No credentials to leak
- Can't brute force
- Cryptographic verification
- Works offline (decryption)
- One key, all messages
Critical Warning
Lose your private key = lose your DrugHub account. Forever. We cannot recover it. We don't have it. Back up your key NOW. Offline. Multiple copies.
DrugHub Two-Factor Authentication
What Requires 2FA
On DrugHub, these actions require 2FA verification:
- Withdrawing funds from wallet
- Changing account settings
- Updating PGP public key
- Accessing sensitive information
- Finalizing large orders
- Support actions on disputes
Login itself is one factor. These additional checks are the second factor. Even if an attacker somehow got into your DrugHub session, withdrawing your funds requires decrypting another challenge.
How DrugHub 2FA Works
Request a sensitive action. DrugHub generates an encrypted message. Decrypt it with your private key. Paste the code. Action proceeds.
Same process as login, just for additional verification. Takes seconds if you have your PGP tool ready. Blocks attackers cold because they can't decrypt without your private key.
No phone number needed. No app to install. No device to lose. Just your PGP key - same one you use for everything else on DrugHub. Simple and bulletproof.
Why Not SMS 2FA?
SMS is insecure. SIM swapping attacks work. Phone companies have weak security. DrugHub doesn't know your phone number and never will. PGP 2FA can't be SIM-swapped.
Why Not TOTP Apps?
TOTP (Google Authenticator style) ties to specific devices. Phone breaks? Account locked. DrugHub 2FA works anywhere you have your PGP key. More flexible, equally secure.
Backup Importance
Your PGP key IS your 2FA. Backup your private key securely. Metal plates, safety deposit box, encrypted USB. Lose it and you lose DrugHub access permanently.
DrugHub Encryption Standards
Message Encryption
All DrugHub messages use end-to-end encryption. When you message a vendor, only they can read it. When they reply, only you can. DrugHub servers see encrypted blobs, nothing more.
This uses PGP encryption. Your message is encrypted with the recipient's public key before transmission. They decrypt with their private key. Even if DrugHub is compromised, message contents stay private.
Transport Security
DrugHub runs on Tor. That's layers of encryption before your data even reaches us. Entry node, middle relay, exit node - each layer encrypted separately. Your IP stays hidden throughout.
The .onion address itself is cryptographic. Can't be impersonated without the matching private key. This is why we use onion addresses instead of clearnet - better security model.
Technical Details
For the security-minded, DrugHub uses:
- RSA 4096-bit keys (minimum)
- AES-256 for symmetric encryption
- SHA-256 hashing
- Perfect forward secrecy on sessions
- Tor v3 onion services (ed25519)
- TLS 1.3 where applicable
- No plaintext storage of sensitive data
- Memory-safe implementation practices
Operational Security for DrugHub
Identity Separation
Your DrugHub identity should have zero connection to your real identity. Different username style. Different writing patterns if you can manage it. Nothing that links back to you.
Don't use the same username across markets. Don't mention personal details. Don't access DrugHub and personal accounts in the same Tor session. Compartmentalize everything.
Device Security
Ideal: Dedicated device for DrugHub. Second best: Tails OS on USB, leaves no traces. Third: Virtual machine with Whonix. Regular browser on your daily laptop? Terrible idea.
Whatever you use, keep it updated. Old software has known vulnerabilities. Attackers love outdated systems. Updates are annoying but critical.
Network Practices
Always use Tor for DrugHub. Never access from home without it. Public WiFi adds anonymity but has its own risks. VPN before Tor is debatable - research the tradeoffs.
Don't check personal email, then DrugHub, then personal email again in the same session. Traffic correlation is real. Keep activities separated.
Time Patterns
Accessing DrugHub at the same time every day creates patterns. Varying your access times slightly adds noise. Adversaries analyze timing - don't make it easy.
Sounds paranoid? Maybe. But OpSec is about reducing every possible leak. Time patterns have correlated users before. Small things add up.
DO This
- Use Tor Browser only for DrugHub
- Use Tails or dedicated device
- Keep software updated
- Backup PGP key offline
- Use unique username
- Verify onion links from official sources
- Enable all security features
- Read vendor reviews carefully
NEVER Do This
- Access DrugHub from regular browser
- Share your private key with anyone
- Use same identity across markets
- Trust random forum links
- Discuss orders on clearnet
- Store private key in cloud
- Ignore security warnings
- Skip 2FA to save time
Common Security Mistakes on DrugHub
Phishing Links
Number one mistake. Someone posts a "working DrugHub mirror" on a forum. Looks legit. Steals your login. Gone.
Only use links from official sources. Verify PGP signatures if you know how. When in doubt, don't click. Come back to this site for verified DrugHub links.
Lost Private Keys
No backup. Device dies. Account gone forever. We literally cannot help you recover access without your private key. It's not stored anywhere except your device.
BACKUP YOUR KEY. Now. Right now. Encrypted USB at minimum. Metal plate backup for serious amounts. Test that your backup actually works before you need it.
Oversharing
Telling vendors too much. Discussing orders on clearnet forums. Bragging to friends. Information leaks are almost always self-inflicted.
Minimum necessary information. Vendors need a shipping address, not your life story. Don't discuss DrugHub activity anywhere except encrypted DrugHub messages.
Reusing Identities
Same username on DrugHub, Dread, other markets. One gets compromised, all linked. Easy correlation for anyone investigating.
Separate identity per context. It's more work but way more secure. Don't give investigators free links between your accounts.
