Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)
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. It enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases.
