Abstract
The formation of high-tech crime is largely based on the use of new means of committing crimes. This circumstance makes the task of constructing a practice-oriented classification of these tools important and relevant. The paper considers classifications for the means of hightech crimes, based on various criteria. The general classification applicable to all groups of high-tech crimes is based on the following criteria: the content of the technical implementation of the funds, the legality of their origin, the contribution of criminals to the development and creation of the means, the elements of the crime method. According to the technical implementation, the means of high-tech crimes are divided into software, hardware and software and hardware. According to the contribution of criminals to the creation, a division was made into ready-made funds modified for criminal purposes and specially designed new ones. Private classifications related to the group of software and hardware tools for committing high-tech crimes are proposed. Energy dependence, mobility and the presence of a network interface and the type of legal authority for the means of crime used were identified as additional practically significant classifying features. The developed classifications are designed to promote the use of more effective technical forensic and tactical forensic techniques in the investigation of high-tech crimes.
