THE CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION
The initial Chartered Computer Forensics Examiner process
consists of a multiple choice question and answer examination,
the forensics examination of a floppy diskette, the forensics
examination of a CDR disk, the forensics examination of ethical
hacking/penetration testing and the forensics examination
of an image of a hard disk drive . An 80% or better
average score is required to complete the process. Once
the written examinations have been completed, the applicant
can then begin the forensics examination of the test media.
The forensics examinations are designed to test the forensics
knowledge and skills of the candidate.
The candidate must have the appropriate tools. CFIN will make
available to registered candidates a list of appropriate
tools.
The primary purpose of this certification is to measure if
the applicant understands and uses sound evidence handling
and storage procedures and follows sound forensics examinations
procedures when conducting examinations.
There are reasonable technical issues that must be resolved
in order to recover the evidentiary data. However, most
of the grade is based upon following sound evidence handling
and storage procedures and following sound examination procedures,
not simply recovering the data.
The Examinations will be held on Saturdays following each
Boot Camp.
