MODERN POSSIBILITIES OF COMPUTER TECHNICAL EXAMINATION IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

With the rapid growth of computer and network systems in recent years, there has also been a corresponding increase in cyber-crime. Cyber-crime takes many forms and has garnered much attention in the media, making information security a more urgent and important priority. In order to fight cyber-crime, criminal evidence must be gathered from these computer-based systems. This is quite different from the collection of conventional criminal evidence and can confuse investigators attempting to deal with the forensics of cyber-crime, highlighting the importance of computer forensics. In this paper, we offer solutions to guard against cyber-crime through the implementation of software toolkits for computer-based systems. In this way, those who engage in criminal acts in cyber-space can be more easily apprehended. The article analyzes the concept and significance of forensic computer-technical expertise, as well as analyzes the mistakes made in the appointment, production of forensic computer-technical expertise and provides ways to prevent and eliminate them. According to the results of the analysis, proposals were developed for improving the norms of the criminal procedure legislation.
