Course Overview
Course Overview
The Network Forensic Investigation Certificate Course is an intensive one-month specialized training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to capture, preserve, analyze, and interpret network traffic for cybercrime investigations, incident response, and digital evidence collection. The course focuses on identifying malicious network activities, tracing cyber attackers, reconstructing network events, and uncovering digital evidence from wired, wireless, and cloud-based network environments.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in packet capture, protocol analysis, intrusion detection, traffic reconstruction, malware communication analysis, network anomaly detection, and threat hunting using industry-standard tools such as Wireshark, Zeek (Bro), Snort, Suricata, tcpdump, ELK Stack, pfSense, Nmap, and Python for Forensics. Through practical laboratory exercises and real-world case studies, learners will develop the expertise required to investigate cyberattacks, data breaches, ransomware incidents, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).
The program emphasizes forensic best practices, evidence preservation, chain of custody, legal admissibility, and the preparation of professional forensic reports suitable for law enforcement, corporate investigations, and judicial proceedings.
