Computer hacking forensic investigation (CHFI) 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. Computer forensic 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.
CHFI v8 Program certifies individuals in the
specific security discipline of computer forensics from a vendor-neutral
perspective. The CHFI certification will fortify the application knowledge of
law enforcement personnel, system administrators, security officers, defense
and military personal, legal professionals, bankers, security professionals,
and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.
