Abstract
The article represents the authors’ analysis of historical and modern approaches to the definition of the concept of information warfare and to the tools of its conduct. The classification systems studied in the material were taken into account when conducting a structured content analysis of cases of information wars in Russia and abroad. Internet technologies (of a digital and social nature), their significance in various types of information wars and the tool base were chosen as the key marker of content analysis. The authors have made and confirmed the hypothesis about the intensification of the practice of information warfare in the context of the development of Internet communications, while it should be noted that technologies born in the Internet environment (both digital and social) can be both an instrument of attack and a means of protection in modern information warfare.
