Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFIV9)

CHFIv9 has a detailed and methodological approach to computer forensic and evidence analysis. It also provides the vital skillset needed to identify an intruder’s footprints and gather necessary evidence for prosecution, with all major tools and theories used in the cyber forensic industry being covered in the curriculum. There is a strong emphasis on the practical expertise needed to perform effective digital forensic investigation in a forensically sound, evidence-preserving way. The approach is procedural and covers searching and seizing, chain-of-custody, acquisition, preservation, analysis and the reporting of digital evidence. In the first unit of study you will explore computer forensics in today’s world and computer forensics investigation processes. From there you will gain an understanding of hard disks and file systems before progressing to operating system forensics. Next, you will learn about techniques to defeat anti-forensics before moving on to data acquisition and duplication. Network forensics and investigating web attacks are the next topics covered, followed by database forensics, cloud forensics and malware forensics. Finally, you will complete your learning with an in-depth look at investigating email crimes, mobile forensics and investigative reports.

The CHFI programme is designed for all professionals who are involved in information system security, computer forensics and incident response. The training is particularly useful to individuals working in law enforcement agencies including the police, defence and military, eBusiness security, system administration, law, banking, insurance, government agencies and IT management.
