THE COMPUTER HACKING FORENSICS INVESTIGATOR CERTIFICATION

Course Description Computer hacking forensic investigation is the process of detecting hacking attacks and properly extracting evidence to report the crime and conduct audits to prevent future attacks. Computer forensics is simply the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence. Evidence might be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including but not limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud. CHF investigators can draw on an array of methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information. !ecuring and analy"ing electronic evidence is a central theme in an ever#increasing number of conflict situations and criminal cases. Electronic evidence is critical in the following situations$ % % % % % % % % % % &isloyal employees Computer break#ins 'ossession of pornography (reach of contract ndustrial espionage E#mail Fraud (ankruptcy &isputed dismissals )eb page defacements *heft of company documents

Computer forensics enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases. *his may range from tracing the tracks of a hacker through a client+s systems, to tracing the originator of defamatory emails, to recovering signs of fraud. *he CHF course will provide participants the necessary skills to identify an intruder+s footprints and to properly gather the necessary evidence to prosecute in the court of law ,t the end of this intensive - day class participants will have hands on understanding and experience in Forensics nvestigation.
