OPERATIONAL MANUAL
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (S.O.P.) FOR BUYERS
WARNING: Deviating from the protocols listed below may compromise your anonymity. This manual covers the full lifecycle of a transaction on the Drughub Darknet Market, from environment setup to order finalization.
ENVIRONMENT SETUP
Establishing a secure perimeter before connection.
VIEW TOR & VPN CONFIGURATION
To access any Drughub URL, the Tor Browser is mandatory. Do not use standard browsers with proxy plugins.
- Download Tor Browser from the official project site only.
- Set Security Level to "Safest" (Disables JavaScript).
- Optional: Use a VPN before Tor (Bridge mode) if your ISP blocks Tor nodes.
PGP ENCRYPTION SETUP
Drughub Market relies on PGP for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and address encryption.
> Windows: Gpg4win (Kleopatra)
> MacOS: GPG Suite
> Linux: GnuPG (Terminal)
Generate a 4096-bit key pair. Never save your private key on a cloud service.
FINANCIAL LOGISTICS
Acquiring and sanitizing Monero (XMR).
WHY MONERO (XMR)?
Bitcoin (BTC) is transparent. Drughub Darknet Shop strongly recommends Monero (XMR) due to Ring Signatures and Stealth Addresses, which make blockchain analysis impossible.
DEPOSIT PROTOCOL
- Buy XMR on a KYC-free exchange (LocalMonero) or swap BTC for XMR using a non-custodial swapper.
- Send XMR to your personal GUI Wallet first (never send directly from exchange to market).
- Log in to Drughub, navigate to Wallet -> Deposit.
- Send funds to the generated sub-address. Confirmations require ~20 minutes.
ORDER EXECUTION
Escrow mechanics and dispute resolution.
ESCROW VS FINALIZE EARLY (FE)
Standard Escrow: Funds are held by the market until you confirm receipt. This is the safest method for new users.
Finalize Early (FE): Funds are released to the vendor immediately. Only use FE for highly trusted vendors with "Bonded" status on the Drughub Directory.
ENCRYPTING SHIPPING DATA
Never send your address in plain text. Even if the market encrypts it, you must encrypt it yourself first using the Vendor's PGP Public Key.
hQIMA4 ... [YOUR ADDRESS HERE] ...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
LOGISTICS & RECEPTION
Physical security vectors and package retrieval.
DROP PROTOCOLS
The destination address (Drop) is the weakest link in the chain. Follow these strict rules:
- Real Name Policy: Always use the real name registered to the address. Fake names trigger postal flags.
- Burn Address: Never order to the same address more than twice in a short period.
- Plausible Deniability: Ensure you have a legitimate reason to receive packages (e.g., ordering legal goods from eBay/Amazon regularly).
CD AWARENESS (CONTROLLED DELIVERY)
If a package requires a signature but wasn't supposed to, or if the courier behaves unusually:
> STATUS: RETURN TO SENDER
> LOG: "I was not expecting this package."
Never sign for a package you suspect is compromised. Clean your house of any illicit items before a delivery arrives.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Dispute management system utilization.
OPENING A DISPUTE
If the auto-finalize timer is running low and goods haven't arrived, go to Orders -> Problem and select "Extend Auto-Finalize".
If the vendor is unresponsive, click "Open Dispute". This summons a Drughub Moderator to the chat. Do not insult the vendor; remain professional to win the dispute.
EVIDENCE SUBMISSION
Moderators judge based on evidence, not trust.
- Upload photos of the package (if empty/wrong item) to a secure host (e.g., 0x0.st) and paste the link.
- Keep the packaging visible until the order is finalized.
- Only communicate inside the Drughub Market encryption system. External chats (Jabber/Telegram) are not valid evidence.
DATA STERILIZATION
Post-operation cleanup and digital hygiene.
METADATA SCRUBBING
Once the transaction is complete and the product is verified:
- Finalize the order to release funds to the vendor.
- Delete the order from your history (if the option exists).
- Use tools like BleachBit to overwrite free disk space on your OS.
- Delete any saved text files containing PGP messages or addresses.
// APPENDIX A: NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS & ACCESS RECOVERY.
Use these protocols if connection to Drughub Darknet is lost or unstable.
ACCESS POINT ROTATION
Managing connection via alternative gateways.
MIRROR VALIDATION
DDoS attacks frequently target the main drughub darknet url. If the primary node is unreachable, users must switch to a verified drughub mirror.
Always verify the PGP signature of any drughub link found on third-party directories. A legitimate drughub market link will always be signed by the admin key (0xDEAD...BEEF).
ONION LATENCY FIX
High latency on the Tor network can simulate a timeout. Before abandoning a drughub onion address, try generating a new Tor circuit (Ctrl+Shift+L). A valid drughub site node should respond within 4500ms.
URL INTEGRITY CHECK
Identifying malicious phishing vectors.
DETECTING PHISHING
Phishers create fake clones of the drughub market darknet interface. Never trust a drughub darkweb link sent via PM or found on clear-web wikis.
> SECURITY: Verify drughub tor certificate icons.
> WARN: "drughub.com" is NOT a real drughub market url.
ECOSYSTEM OVERVIEW
Understanding the backend infrastructure.
SERVER ARCHITECTURE
The drughub darknet shop is hosted on a decentralized cluster. This ensures that the drughub market remains online even if individual nodes are seized.
Data synchronization across the drughub darknet market database prevents order loss during server migration. Your wallet balance is replicated across all drughub onion instances.
MERCHANT PROTOCOLS
Interaction with the decentralized shop interface.
SHOP RELIABILITY
Not every drughub darknet shop vendor is equal. Analyze the "Trust Level" and "Feedback Score" before requesting a specific drughub darknet url for a private shop listing.
The core drughub darknet engine enforces strict bond requirements. Vendors failing to meet the drughub market darknet standards are purged weekly.
