Computer and Hacking Forensics (Cybrary)

Offered by Cybrary,

Digital crime is more prevalent than ever, and the attacks are getting highly complex. Security software can’t pinpoint it—the eyes and expertise of a trained professional is necessary. Our free Computer and Hacking Forensics training teaches you how to become that professional.

Love the idea of investigation? That’s what computer forensics is all about. You’ll learn how to determine potential online criminal activity at its inception, how to gather legal evidence, how to search and how to investigate wireless attacks. Additional topics include unlocking passwords, the establishment and maintenance of a physical “chain of custody” and recovering lost and deleted data. At the conclusion, you will have been taught the concepts included in the industry leading EC-Council CHFI certification exam.
