A study of the features of setting up the work of canarytokens both in normal conditions of user equipment and when using means of increased anonymity in a computer network. The author's thoughts on the forms of using ca-narytokens during the investigation of crimes are given. In conclusion, outcomes are drawn about the advantages and disadvantages of the considered method of identifying an Internet user. The first in-clude: the efficiency of obtaining information even in cases where the criminal uses Internet re-sources that are outside the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation; obtaining information not only about the IP address, but also about the software and hardware characteristics of the computer de-vice used; the ability to obtain information relevant to a criminal case in cases where a criminal uses a VPN service.
