Drughub URL Registration Guide

Start by downloading Tor Browser from the documented site. Avoid third-party mirrors—these can bundle malware or track your exit node. Once installed, launch Tor and set your security level to "Safest" (this disables JavaScript, which phishing sites often exploit to steal credentials). If you're on a shared network, consider using a bridge to hide your Tor usage from your ISP.

Before you visit any drughub URL, use our PGP Signature Verifier to confirm the mirror is authentic. Paste the .onion address into the form—we'll check it against Drughub's documented signing key. If the signature matches, you'll see "Verified — PGP signature matched the canonical key." If it doesn't, the mirror is a clone. Never enter your registration details on an unverified site, even if the URL looks similar to a known drughub onion link.

Once you've verified a drughub URL, copy the .onion address into Tor Browser's address bar. The site should load within 10-30 seconds—if it takes longer, try a different mirror from our verified list. On the homepage, look for a "Register" or "note an onlooker handle" link in the top-right corner. Avoid mirrors that redirect you to a login page immediately—this is a common phishing tactic.

On the registration form, you'll need to provide a username, password, and PIN. Choose a username that doesn't reveal personal information (e.g., avoid using your real name or email). Your password should be at least 16 characters long and include a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. The PIN is used for account recovery, so store it offline in a secure location. Never reuse passwords from other sites—darknet markets are frequent targets for credential-stuffing attacks.

After submitting your details, you'll be prompted to enable 2FA. Drughub supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) via apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and enter the six-digit code to complete setup. Without 2FA, your account is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. If you lose access to your authenticator app, your PIN is the only way to recover your account—so keep it safe.

Drughub uses a simple text-based captcha to prevent automated registrations. Enter the characters shown in the image and submit the form. If the captcha fails repeatedly, try refreshing the page or switching to a different verified drughub mirror. Some mirrors may have outdated captchas, so using a primary endpoint (like the one listed in our verified URLs section) can reduce errors.

Some drughub mirrors require email verification to complete registration. If prompted, enter a disposable email address (never use your personal email). Services like Temp-Mail or ProtonMail can help keep your identity separate from your market activity. Check your inbox for a verification link and click it within Tor Browser. If you don't receive an email, check your spam folder or try a different email provider.

Once registered, log in using your username, password, and 2FA code. Navigate to your account settings and review your security options. Enable "Login Alerts" to receive notifications if someone attempts to access your account from a new device. Consider setting up a PGP key for encrypted messages—this adds an extra layer of security for communications with vendors. Finally, bookmark the verified drughub URL you used to avoid accidentally visiting phishing sites in the future.
