DrugHub Market Mirrors & Verification
Complete guide to finding, verifying, and safely accessing DrugHub Market onion links
Understanding DrugHub Mirrors
What's a mirror? Simple. It's an alternative entry point to the same marketplace. DrugHub runs multiple .onion addresses that all connect to the same backend. Why? Redundancy.
When one mirror goes down - DDoS attack, maintenance, whatever - others keep working. Smart users bookmark several verified mirrors. That way, you're never locked out.
But here's the catch. Fake mirrors exist too. Phishing sites that look identical to DrugHub but steal everything you enter. That's why verification matters more than anything else.

🔐 How to Verify PGP Signatures
Don't trust. Verify. Every single time. Here's how:
Step-by-Step Verification
Step 1: Get DrugHub's Public Key
Import the official key from our About page:
gpg --import drughub_key.asc
Verify fingerprint matches:
5707 BDBA D61B B085 38BC 0138 0377 F8AD 8EBC 3139
Step 2: Save Signed Message
Copy the entire PGP signed message and save to a file:
nano mirrors.txt
Include everything from -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- to -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Step 3: Verify Signature
Run the verification command:
gpg --verify mirrors.txt
Expected Output:
gpg: Signature made ... gpg: Good signature from "drughubAdmin <drughub@gmail.com>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
✅ "Good signature" = Link is authentic
❌ "BAD signature" = DO NOT USE LINK!
The warning about "not certified with trusted signature" is normal. It means you haven't signed the key yourself. The fingerprint match is what matters.
🌐 Mirror Types Explained
Not all mirrors work the same. Here's what you need to know:
🧅 Permanent Mirror (PoW)
URL Pattern: drughub75eoe5pqwy...lnad.onion
How it works:
- Proof of Work (PoW) protection against DDoS
- Your browser solves a small puzzle on first connect
- Requires Tor Browser 0.4.6+ (recent versions)
- Initial connection slower, then normal speed
Best for: When main mirrors are under attack or down
🌍 Clearnet LDN
URL: https://drughub.in
What is LDN?
- Link Delivery Network - a redirect service
- Accessible from regular internet
- Provides current working .onion links
- Never use for actual market access!
Best for: Finding latest .onion mirrors when you've lost them
🔒 Private Mirrors
Assignment: Given to active users via PM
Advantages:
- Exclusive access (fewer users)
- Higher uptime during attacks
- Less congestion
- Personal assignment from market staff
Best for: Regular users who receive private link assignments
Standard vs PoW Mirrors
What's the difference? Standard mirrors are simple - you connect directly. PoW mirrors add an extra step.
PoW (Proof of Work) makes your browser solve a computational puzzle before connecting. Takes a few seconds. Annoying? Yes. But it stops DDoS attacks cold. Attackers can't flood the server with requests because each request costs computation.
Use PoW mirrors when standard ones are down. They're the fallback that actually works during attacks.
Why Multiple Mirrors Exist
DrugHub doesn't run just one server. That would be stupid. One takedown and the whole market dies. Instead, they use distributed infrastructure:
- Redundancy: If one server fails, others keep running
- DDoS Protection: Attacks on one mirror don't affect others
- Geographic Distribution: Servers in different locations
- Load Balancing: Traffic spread across multiple entry points
This is why bookmarking multiple verified mirrors matters. When your primary fails, you have backups ready.
🛡️ Security Best Practices
✅ ALWAYS DO
- ✅ Verify PGP signature every time you get a new link
- ✅ Use Tor Browser exclusively (never regular browsers)
- ✅ Bookmark verified mirror after first successful access
- ✅ Check Dread forum (/d/DrugHub) for latest updates
- ✅ Enable HTTPS Everywhere in Tor Browser settings
- ✅ Cross-reference links from multiple trusted sources
- ✅ Save PGP key locally for offline verification
- ✅ Update Tor Browser regularly for security patches
- ✅ Keep multiple bookmarks of verified mirrors
❌ NEVER DO
- ❌ NEVER trust unverified links from Reddit, Telegram, email
- ❌ NEVER use clearnet proxies (onion.to, onion.ws, etc.)
- ❌ NEVER access without Tor (exposes real IP address)
- ❌ NEVER use VPN-to-onion services (defeats Tor anonymity)
- ❌ NEVER trust Google search results for .onion links
- ❌ NEVER ignore signature warnings (BAD signature = phishing)
- ❌ NEVER share links publicly on clearnet (aids censorship)
- ❌ NEVER type .onion addresses manually (typos = phishing)
- ❌ NEVER login on first visit without checking URL carefully
🎣 Common Phishing Tactics to Avoid
Phishing is the #1 threat on darknet. Scammers are creative. Here's what they do:
How it Works: Scammers create clearnet sites (drughub-market.com, drughub-official.net) that look identical to real site. They buy Google/Bing ads targeting "drughub" searches.
Red Flags: Any site claiming to be DrugHub on regular internet. Real market is .onion only.
Protection: Never use clearnet sites for transactions. Only use verified .onion links accessed via Tor.
How it Works: Phishing .onion with 1-2 character difference. Example: drughub75e0e5pqwy vs drughub75eoe5pqwy (zero vs letter O).
Red Flags: URL looks slightly off. Visual similarity designed to fool quick glances.
Protection: Verify full .onion address character-by-character. Use copy-paste, never type manually. PGP verification catches this every time.
How it Works: Phishing sites display fake PGP signatures that look authentic. They show green checkmarks, fake "verified" badges, or preformatted "Good signature" text.
Red Flags: Any site showing verification results directly. Real verification happens on YOUR computer, not their server.
Protection: Always run gpg --verify yourself locally. Don't trust web-based verification displays.
How it Works: Scammers send unsolicited messages claiming "new mirror available" or "urgent security update - use this link now."
Red Flags: Any unsolicited link. DrugHub staff never PM users with links.
Protection: DrugHub announcements only happen on Dread forum (/d/DrugHub) with PGP signatures. Ignore all other sources.
Real Phishing Examples (Historical)
These aren't theoretical. Phishing attacks happen constantly. Some documented cases:
- 2024: drughub-market[.]com - Fake clearnet site running Google Ads. Stole 200+ credentials before takedown.
- 2024: Modified .onion - Single character change (drughub75e0e vs drughub75eoe). Active for 2 weeks.
- 2025: Telegram "Support" Scam - Fake DrugHub support channel distributing phishing links. 500+ victims.
- Ongoing: Reddit/Discord Links - Constant stream of phishing links posted in darknet communities.
Pattern is clear. Trust nobody. Verify everything.
🚨 EMERGENCY: I Used a Phishing Site!
If you entered credentials on an unverified site, ACT IMMEDIATELY:
- DO NOT PANIC - Quick action limits damage. You have minutes, not hours.
- Generate NEW PGP keypair - Your old one is compromised. Create fresh 4096-bit keys.
- Access REAL DrugHub - Use a verified .onion link (check PGP signature!)
- Change password immediately - If market uses passwords alongside PGP
- Enable/reset 2FA - Generate new authentication codes
- Withdraw ALL funds - Move everything to a new, clean wallet address
- Report to DrugHub support - Use internal ticketing system
- Monitor account - Watch for unauthorized activity for weeks
- Check other accounts - If you reused credentials anywhere (you shouldn't have)
⏱️ TIME IS CRITICAL: Phishing sites immediately attempt to access compromised accounts and steal funds. The faster you act, the better your chances of saving your money and identity.
How to Access DrugHub Safely
Step by step process. Follow exactly:
Complete Access Procedure
- Download Tor Browser from torproject.org only
- Verify download using PGP signature from Tor Project
- Install and configure - Set security level to "Safer" or "Safest"
- Import DrugHub's PGP key from trusted source (our About page)
- Find mirror list on Dread forum (/d/DrugHub)
- Verify PGP signature of mirror list using gpg --verify
- Copy verified .onion link (don't type it)
- Paste into Tor Browser address bar
- Check URL carefully before any login
- Bookmark immediately after successful verification
Tor Browser Requirements
For PoW mirrors, you need a recent Tor Browser. Specifically:
- Version 0.4.6+ required for PoW support
- Latest stable recommended - Always update when prompted
- Security Level: "Safer" or "Safest" in settings
- NoScript enabled: Don't disable it
Outdated browser? PoW mirrors won't work. Standard mirrors might still work but you're vulnerable to security exploits. Just update.
Finding Updates on Dread
Dread is the Reddit of darknet. Official announcements from DrugHub go there first. Here's how to use it:
- Subforum: /d/DrugHub
- Official posts: Signed by DrugHub admin PGP key
- Mirror updates: Posted whenever links change
- Security alerts: Phishing warnings, vulnerability disclosures
Bookmark Dread. Check it before trying to access DrugHub, especially if your usual mirror is down. The community discusses outages in real-time.
⚠️ Final Security Reminder
Phishing is the #1 cause of credential theft and fund loss on darknet markets. Taking 5 minutes to properly verify PGP signatures can save you thousands of dollars and protect your identity.
When in doubt, DON'T USE IT. Better to wait a day than lose everything to phishing.
