暗网电商“丝绸之路”第4次复活，仍以毒品交易为主 - 暗网,丝绸之路,毒品 - IT资讯
“丝绸之路”是一个完美的商业奇迹，如果它不卖毒品的话。
作为暗网中最有“品牌价值”的电商，“丝绸之路”几经浮沉。最近，号称新版的“丝绸之路3.0”又一次在暗网上线。而这已经是丝绸之路这个奇葩网站的第四次“复活”。
丝绸之路的“旗手”
如果评选有史以来上最为危险的职业，“丝绸之路”的站长估计会名列榜首。
▲丝绸之路的创立者：罗斯·乌布利希
大名鼎鼎的黑客罗斯·乌布利希在2011年创建了“丝绸之路”这个以毒品交易为主的网站。随着暗网的蓬勃兴盛，这个植根于人类欲念的网站迅速膨胀。由于暗网本身的匿名性，加之乌布利希过人的反侦察能力，让它平稳地运营丝绸之路两年之久。在这期间，依靠每笔交易10%的佣金，他赚取了超过1亿美元的利润。伴随被朋友出卖、FBI顺藤摸瓜和一系列戏剧化的故事，乌布里希终于被捕，而暗网中第一个毒品交易网站丝绸之路也随之覆灭。
▲要求释放乌布利希的网站
然而，丝绸之路的“品牌价值”并没有随着乌布利希被判处终身监禁而减损。在2013年11月，丝绸之路2.0横空出世。它的创建者正是乌布利希的追随者本特霍尔，2014年底，这名曾经供职于Space X的工程师终于东窗事发，锒铛入狱。
就在丝绸之路2.0被关闭不久之后，有人建立了丝绸之路3.0。至于丝绸之路3.0的建立者究竟是谁，目前还不得而知。因为，他还没有落入FBI的手中。
不过，丝绸之路3.0的经营并不顺利。经过了两次大换血，丝绸之路的声誉严重受损，而这位新的“旗手”似乎并没有显现出过人的魅力。在2016年1月，丝绸之路3.0挂出“免战牌”，以技术原因为由暂停服务。
所以说，丝绸之路这一次的复活是第四次。从版本号来看，这次丝绸之路的回归并没有升级为4.0，让人不禁联想新的掌门人和旧老板之间的关系。从改版页面来看，新丝绸之路3.0和另一家暗网电商“Crypto Market”共用一个入口论坛，而网站介绍也表明，这两个电商的幕后老板为一个人。

探秘新丝绸之路3.0
雷锋网对新丝绸之路3.0和Crypto Market进行了调查，发现 Crypto Market已经在不久之前宣布暂停服务，而它的用户可以用旧有的密码直接登陆新丝绸之路3.0。也就是说，Crypto Market已经摇身一变，接手了丝绸之路3.0。从销售的货物来看，各种毒品占据了这个网站的绝大多数版面。而隐私数据、账号交易、网络攻击、漏洞交易都被归为了“其他”栏目。
可见，这个以毒品起家的网站，仍然想强化自己毒品交易的“标签”。
由于加入了新的验证措施，注册这个网站变得相当困难。而网站的技术进步还远远不止这些。虽说丝绸之路销售的都是违禁品，但是新版网站依然配备了第三方支付系统，还有用户的评价系统。
▲丝绸之路3.0上，某买家的留言评价
随意查看一些评价，可以看出客户对于商家还是相当满意的。例如，有人留言说：
第一次到这个网站购买，一开始我还有点担心，但是第二天卖家就发货了，而且还根据我的要求用了特殊的包装方法，我给卖家全五星！！ ：D
从排名靠前的“货品”来看，最近的销售量都达到了1000份以上，可见丝绸之路在暗网世界仍然有大批拥趸。从这个角度来看，FBI很可能正在加紧对于这个老牌毒品交易网站的调查。

终究要覆灭的丝绸之路
自从丝绸之路1.0版本上线以来，在暗网世界就不乏竞争者。而随着树大招风的丝绸之路屡次“折戟沉沙”，在暗网中已经建立起数不胜数的违禁品交易网站，例如Alphabay，Dream Market，The Real Deal，Zocalo，Valhalla，Hansa Market，Acropolis，Python Market，Oasis Market，Bloomsfield，German-Plaza，Darknet Heroes League，The Majestic Garden，当然，还有之前提到的Crypto Market。
▲暗网黑市 Crypto Market的交易规则
暗网中的“违禁品电商”就像荒野中的杂草一样，野火吹不尽，春风吹又生。这种简单的商业形态填充了法律难以管辖的需求。那些蔑视法律，一味追求所谓自由的人，永远会寻找方式集结在一起。不是在现实生活中，就是在暗网上；不是在丝绸之路，就是在其他的网站。
然而，就在最近，FBI连续端掉了数个涉嫌犯罪的暗网网站。而且，有很多证据表明FBI拥有可以探寻暗网参与者真实身份的漏洞。对于那些想要以身试法的瘾君子来说，丝绸之路3.0的覆灭，看来只是时间问题。
