Hackers can always penetrate your system and so, when they do, the real issue is how you respond.
The EC-Council Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator® (CHFI®) course teaches you the entire digital forensics process and enables you to get hands-on experience with various forensic investigation tools and techniques.
This latest version of CHFI (v11) addresses the latest forensics examination techniques, including Linux and MAC forensics, as well as the laws and standards surrounding digital forensics.
At Firebrand, we're a multi-award-winning EC-Council Platinum Partner, the highest designation within EC-Council's Partner Program, as well as an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC). Through our unique Lecture | Lab | Review method, you'll be immersed in digital forensics as you participate in new CHFI v11 labs centred around malware, database, cloud and anti-forensics techniques.
This course will prepare you for the CHFI exam (312-49), covered by the Firebrand Certification Guarantee. You will take the exam at the end of your course.
EC-Council's CHFI certification is accredited by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI). Organisations with ANSI accreditation are required to undergo stringent quality reviews and assessments. EC-Council is one of just a handful of certification bodies to achieve ANSI accreditation.

Identifying intruder footprints
Searching and seizing
Chain-of-custody
Acquisition
Preservation
Analysis and reporting of digital evidence
Gathering the necessary evidence to prosecute

A note on the Passing Score: In order to maintain the high integrity of our certifications exams, EC-Council Exams are provided in multiple forms (i.e. different question banks). Each form is carefully analyzed through beta testing with an appropriate sample group under the purview of a committee of subject matter experts that ensure that each of our exams not only has academic rigor but also has “real world” applicability. We also have a process to determine the difficulty rating of each question. The individual rating then contributes to an overall “Cut Score” for each exam form. To ensure each form has equal assessment standards, cut scores are set on a “per exam form” basis. Depending on which exam form is challenged, cut scores can range from 60% to 85%.

FAQs
The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator certification (CHFI) is aimed at top-level Forensic and Intrusion Analysts, Security Operations personnel, and Systems/Network Administrators.
The EC-Council Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) exam focuses on the ability to gather evidence from digital systems, detect cybercrimes, and analyse compromised systems, all while ensuring the evidence is preserved for potential legal proceedings.
The CHFI exam consists of 150 scenario-based multiple-choice questions and takes 4 hours. According to EC-Council, it’s a moderately difficult exam that assesses your knowledge of digital forensics fundamentals and methodologies, file, disk, storage, and network forensics, web attacks, anti-forensic techniques, data recovery methods, incident response, and legal issues.
Achieving the CHFI certification is ideal for Digital Forensic Analysts, Incident Response Teams, Security Consultants, Cyber Security professionals, Ethical Hackers, Law Enforcement Officers, or legal personnel investigating digital crimes.
At Firebrand, the CHFI exam cost is included in the course fee; in addition, delegates also enjoy the Certification Guarantee: if they don't pass the exam the first time, they can take the course again for free within a year of their first one, only paying for accommodation, the exam, and incidental costs.
The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst course, also known as ECSA, has been replaced by the EC-Council Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT).
CHFI helps you develop the skills you need to investigate cybercrimes and data breaches, including collecting and analysing digital evidence and performing forensic analysis on compromised systems. In contrast, with CPENT, you will be able to conduct penetration tests in real-world networks, web apps, IoT, cloud environments, and SCADA systems.
The answer depends on what you’re interested in. If you're more interested in investigating attacks and finding evidence, go for CHFI. If you want to be the one carrying out the attacks to test security systems, CPENT is the way to go.
Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible.
