Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator

The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course imparts the security discipline of computerized forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is an extensive course which covers major forensic investigation schemes and empowers the students to acquire the relevant hands-on experience with various forensic investigation tools and techniques. Additionally, it also conveys necessary information regarding the use of standard forensic tools for successfully carrying out computer forensic investigation which may lead to the prosecution of violators.

The CHFI certification also gives the participants (network administrators, law enforcement personnel, security professionals, legal professionals and officers, defense and military personnel, bankers, security officers, and anyone who is directly connected with the integrity of the network infrastructure) with the requisite skills to perform a detailed and compelling digital forensics investigation.

CHFI, therefore, presents a technological and specialized approach to computer forensics. This primarily includes searching and snagging, chain-of-custody, acquisition, recovery, preservation, thorough investigation and analysis, and finally reporting of digital evidence.
