CHFI 9.0 | Learn Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator at ISOEH - Indian School Of Ethical Hacking, Kolkta, India

Computer forensic is the collection, preservation, analysis,identification and presentation of computer related evidence that can be useful in criminal cases for the purpose of facilitation or furthering the reconstruction of events found to be criminal.

There are three things to take into consideration when carrying out computer forensic. A computer can be the target of the crime, it can be the instrument of the crime or it can serve as an evidence repository storing valuable information about the crime. Knowing what role the computer played in the crime can of tremendous help when searching for evidence. This knowledge can also help reduce the time taken to package your evidence.

Computer forensics is one of the largest growing professions of the 21st century. The main goals of computer forensics are the preservation, identification, extraction, documentation and interpretation of recovered computer data.

Scope of forensic science in india:

With the rising number of incidents of crime and fraud in India, the scope of forensic science is definitely rising. Today there are Forensic Science related jobs in both the Government and Private Sector...Crime Branches, CBI, CID, Police, Investigation Bureau, Defense/Army, Courts, Narcotics Dept., Universities, Detective Agencies, Banks, Insurance Companies.
