What is The Professionals?
The Professionals is a darknet vendor shop focused on drugs of all kinds. Since this is a relatively new shop, the portfolio is still limited but you can still find a variety of different drugs. The Professionals shop offers customer service hours on weekdays between 9am and 5pm.
A convenient feature of this market is that you don’t have to register an account to access the site – you can freely access the entire site as a guess. However, of course you will need to register and charge your wallet before you can participate in the market. At the moment, the shop supports Bitcoin and Monero.
Security Recommendations
Same as with all darknet sites the usual security recommendations apply. Most importantly: stay anonymous. Use the TOR browser only and don’t use the TOR browser for any regular (non-darknet) browsing.
Before visiting the site with the TOR browser, you should switch off JavaScript (Options -> Privacy & Security -> Security Level -> Switch to “Safest”). The Professionals vendor shop is explicitly designed so that you don’t need JavaScript which allows you to increase your security by switching it off.
Ideally, you have a dedicated system or at least a dedicated VM for all your darknet activities. Keep your darknet PGP keys and other credentials limited to that system only, do not mix it with any activities that would expose your identity.
Treat your dedicated system like a work-system: Only install the software necessary for your operations do not install anything for entertainment or other purposes. Subsequently, resist the urge to browse Twitter, Reddit or any other social media sites while you have downtime. For this always use your regular system.
For additional system security, we recommend you run a secure operating system like Tails or Whonix on your dedicated system for darknet activities. We also recommend using a VPN as an additional security measure since TOR will only anonymize your browsing sessions but not other traffic.
Especially when using any public WiFi hotspots you should always use a VPN when accessing the Internet since you don’t know whether the access point is compromised. A VPN ensures that all of your traffic, no matter what application, will always be strongly encrypted when passing the access point, this protecting yourself not only from eavesdropping but also possible identity theft.
The Professionals Summary
While The Professionals is a rather small vendor shop it is still worth a visit if you are looking for specific kinds of drugs. The fact that you don’t need to register an account to browse the shop is an extra plus. As always, when visiting any darknet vendor shop make sure to only use trusted links, such as the onion link for The Professionals vendor shop on the top.
