About This Course
Computer forensic practices help to investigate crimes and assaults, system anomalies, or even help system administrators in identifying an issue by characterizing what is ordinary functional specifications and validating system data for uncommon practices. Cyber Security experts with a firm hold on the standards of digital forensics can be seen as members of Incident Handling and Incident Response Teams. Gain hands-on expertise in EC-Council Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator 312-49 V8 exam with Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator course. The course covers all the objectives of the EC Council 312-49 V8 exam and provides competence across a spectrum of skills including computer forensics, digital evidence, steganography, application password crackers, log capturing, event correlation, investigation of various attacks, and much more. The course furnishes a strong learning pattern of key ideas and concepts in the digital forensic domains applicable to the present organizations.
Skills You’ll Get
The EC-Council Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator certification is targeted at law enforcement personnel, system administrators, security officers, defense and military personnel, legal professionals, bankers, security professionals, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure. CHFI specialists can design different strategies for determining potential legitimate proof data that remains in a computer system and recovering erased, encoded, or corrupted file data which is known as Computer Data Recovery by the utilization of computer investigation and investigation techniques also called Computer Forensics. The exam covers computer forensics, digital evidence, rules of evidence, digital evidence examination process, password cracking concepts, and log capturing techniques. The purpose of the CHFI certification is to validate the candidate's abilities to recognize an intruder s footprints and to legitimately assemble the essential evidence to prosecute.
