Computer Forensic Training Center Online
offers a self-paced training course designed for professionals such as network administrators, MIS and IS specialists, auditors, fraud examiners, investigators and similar specialists who may encounter computer media that contains potential evidence or other significant data.
This course will teach you how to forensically recover all of the data from the DOS, Windows 9.x and NTFS logical structures utilized by Windows NT, 2000 and XP operating systems so that it may be used in hearings or other proceedings.
Self-Paced Approach
We feel the self-paced approach to training is a superior learning method to any one or two week classroom training course. Our training method gives you much more time to understand and "digest" the material and as much time as it takes to learn and practice the skills necessary to conduct forensic examinations, and to interact with your coach. It allows you to proceed to the next topic when you have learned and understand the material, whenever you are ready and also allows for interruptions caused by work or family and doesn't require 100% of your time while taking the course.
Methodologies
The course will teach and emphasize using sound forensic processes and methodologies to conduct forensic examinations. We teach the manual recovery of evidence/data from magnetic media by use of specially prepared practical exercises. These practical exercises are precisely prepared to teach you the skills that you need to conduct forensically sound examinations.
Practical Exercises
The practical exercises teach you the skills to create and verify forensically sterile examination media, to create forensic boot diskettes, to make forensic copies of media, to find and recover deleted, formatted, hidden and lost data, to access mail, cache and other internet related files, to unlock passwords, data format conversion, to provide opinions regarding examinations and a complete hands-on examination of a specially prepared hard disk drive with real life forensic issues.
Course Length
Typically the course takes about 4 months to complete.
