CHFI: Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator v8

CHFI: Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator v8 Course Description

Computer forensics enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases. This 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.

The CHFI course will give participants the necessary skills to identify an intruder's footprints and to properly gather the necessary evidence to prosecute. Many of today's top tools of the forensic trade will be taught during this course, including software, hardware and specialized techniques. The need for businesses to become more efficient and integrated with one another, as well as the home user, has given way to a new type of criminal, the "cyber-criminal." It is no longer a matter of "will your organization be comprised (hacked)?" but, rather, "when?" Today's battles between corporations, governments, and countries are no longer fought only in the typical arenas of boardrooms or battlefields using physical force. Now the battlefield starts in the technical realm, which ties into most every facet of modern day life. If you or your organization requires the knowledge or skills to identify, track, and prosecute the cybercriminal , then this is the course for you.

The CHFI is a very advanced security-training program. Proper preparation is required before conducting the CHFI class.

      I have had several courses through NetCom and generally they are very good.

      I was recently a student in the Java boot camp class. I would just like to say that my instructor for that course was one of the best that I''ve ever encountered at your facility - Arthur Gober. I've been a student of at least a dozen classes at NetCom and he is by far one of my favorites now. He was very methodical in the way he taught; he always ensured that I never fell behind in the material; he gave me a great foundation on which to build on in regards to Java programming. He actually inspired me to become a better programmer and for that I will always be grateful.

      I've been a student at NetCom Learning for over 10 years now and I have enjoyed every class I''ve ever taken there. The classes are small which I find to be beneficial (5-10 students) and the instructors are always very knowledgeable in regards to the material they are teaching.

      The receptionists at NetCom are always friendly and helpful. The classroom environment is user friendly. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. There is a testing center in the facility which is extremely convenient. I can honestly say, I can''t think of anything I would change at NetCom. I am proud to be a student there.
