ACCESSING DRUGHUB
DrugHub utilizes a comprehensive access control system designed to bolster security and mitigate the risks of phishing and DDoS attacks. Each participant on the platform receives a distinct .onion address that facilitates their access. To acquire this address, users must navigate to a specified LDN page.
Upon reaching the LDN page, users are required to complete a CAPTCHA challenge and click on a button to create a new mirror link. This newly generated mirror is signed, and it is imperative to check its validity against the platform's PGP key for confirmation.
It is crucial to note that each user is individually linked to their assigned mirror, ensuring that only they can utilize it. This personalization contributes an additional security layer, safeguarding against unauthorized entry.

In contrast, vendors are provided with Permanent Mirrors, which are accessible only to them and to users who have completed transactions with them on the marketplace. This design removes the necessity for vendors and authorized users to seek a new URL for each transaction, thereby enhancing the efficiency of their interactions.
Users will face a CAPTCHA challenge during their interactions, which is specifically crafted to confirm their human identity. This challenge displays a transparent circle that reveals an underlying layer, where users must align the top circle with the bottom circle prior to the expiry of the CAPTCHA timer.
Once they manage to complete the alignment, they can proceed by clicking the continue button to access the marketplace.

To finalize a user’s registration as a customer on Drug Hub, possession of a PGP key is essential, as it is required for market access. Users must input their PGP key into the specified box on the registration page and then click the 'continue' button.
After this step, a PGP encrypted message will appear on the following page. Users should retrieve this encryption from the designated code box and paste it into their PGP client for decryption. Upon decryption, the message will begin with the segment 'DRUG_HUB_BUYER_REGISTRATION_yourcodehere.' To confirm and complete the registration for the marketplace, users should proceed by selecting the appropriate option.
The chosen username acts merely as an identifier for vendors, and it is not utilized for login purposes. After entering a desired username, users should click on the 'continue' button to move forward and complete the registration procedure.
Users must enter their PGP Public Key into the designated box and choose a Session timeout duration, which specifies the time frame after which they will be prompted to reauthenticate to the market.
For example, if you select a Session timeout of 12 hours, you will remain logged in throughout that period, unless you choose to log out manually. Subsequently, proceed by clicking 'Continue' to receive your PGP validation message on the next page, and refer back to the earlier steps for PGP Validation details.
The validation code that appears for signing in starts with a specified prefix.
