Skills You'll Gain
What you'll actually be able to do
Forensics isn't just running tools — it's knowing how to collect evidence that holds up in court, trace exactly what an attacker did, and document it for investigators and lawyers.
Use FTK Imager and Autopsy to image drives bit-by-bit, verify with hash values, and recover deleted files, partitions, and file system artifacts that most users think are gone.
Read the Windows registry to reconstruct user activity, parse event logs for attack timelines, pull USB connection history, and analyze prefetch files to see exactly what ran on a machine.
Acquire RAM from live systems, extract running processes and network connections, identify injected malware hiding in memory, and recover encryption keys and credentials.
Perform logical and physical acquisition of smartphones, extract call logs, messages, deleted media, and app data. Understand what Cellebrite does and when to use it.
Reconstruct attack timelines from Wireshark captures, IDS logs, and firewall records. Identify C2 beaconing, lateral movement, and data exfiltration in network traffic.
Analyze email headers to trace spoofed senders, investigate SQL injection attacks from web server logs, and build a case from XSS and website defacement incidents.
Structure forensic reports for law enforcement submission. Understand chain of custody, evidence integrity, and how technical findings translate to legal proceedings.
Curriculum
16 Modules — Full Breakdown
From foundational theory through advanced forensics. Each module introduces new investigation techniques and builds the case-handling skills courts and employers expect.

These are the tools used by digital forensics teams in law enforcement agencies, cyber cells, and enterprise security operations.
Eligibility
Who gets the most out of this course
If any of these describes you, you're in the right place:
You want to specialize in something specific. Forensics is one of the highest-demand specializations in cybersecurity and sets you apart from every general security graduate.
You respond to incidents but want to go deeper — understanding how to preserve evidence, build timelines, and hand off to legal teams. Forensics makes your IR work significantly more impactful.
You want to work in cyber cells, law enforcement, or as a cyber law expert. This course teaches the technical side of digital evidence that makes cases prosecutable.
You know how attacks work. This course teaches you what attackers leave behind and how investigators find it. Offensive + forensics knowledge is a rare and highly valued combination.

Student Reviews
From people who've been through it
"I was a network admin for 4 years before taking this. The Windows Forensics module completely changed how I think about system hardening. You start seeing your own network the way an investigator would. Got hired as an incident responder 2 months after finishing."

"The malware forensics and dark web modules aren't covered anywhere else at this price point. Most forensics courses skip the hard parts. CyberHackz covers them with actual labs. The capstone report was something I could literally add to my portfolio."
