CFCE case studies

The Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE) is a vendor-neutral credential for practitioners who examine computers and storage media in support of investigations, litigation, or incident response. It is aimed at examiners who already handle evidence and want independent confirmation that their methods, documentation, and reporting meet a defensible standard. It suits law-enforcement examiners, private consultants, and corporate investigators alike, and it is generally pursued by people with hands-on case experience rather than newcomers to the field. The exam is practical rather than purely academic. The CFCE case studies are 5 cases and about 4,302 words.
