Overview

On this 5-day accelerated CREST Registered Intrusion Analyst (CR IA) course, you'll become familiar with the whole story of a cyber-attack - from intrusion detection to malware reverse engineering - 20% faster than traditional training.

This is the first cross discipline course of its kind that covers the essential knowledge and hands-on practical skills needed for intrusion detection, incident handling, computer/network forensics and malware reverse engineering.

This accelerated CR IA training will teach you essential knowledge and hands-on practical skills through Firebrand's unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique.

Your expert instructor will guide you through how to detect and handle an attack and how to trace, acquire, investigate, analyse and re-construct the incident. You'll learn to lay groundwork for malware analysis by presenting the key tools and techniques malware analysts use to examine malicious programs.

You'll also learn:

  • Soft Skills and Incident Handling - record keeping and incident chronology
  • Core Technical Skills - IP protocols, OS fingerprinting and host analysis techniques
  • Background Information Gathering & Open Source - DNS
  • Network Intrusion Analysis - network traffic cpature, incoming attacks and flase positive acknowledgement
  • Analysing Host Intrusions - identifying suspect files, infection vectors and live malware analysis
  • Reverse Engineering Malware - windows executable file formats and functionality identification

Access to 24/7 labs means that you can test your theoretical skills with practical exercises anytime you like.

This course builds on the skills learnt in the CPIA and prepares you for the CRIA exam. Don't pass the exam first time? Don't worry - we've got you covered with your Certification Guarantee.

If you're a systems administrator, incident handler, IT manager, Government or law enforcement wishing to expand your knowledge on Digital Forensics, this course is ideal for you.

The CRIA certification is also ideal for those hoping to start a career in Intrusion Analysis or Digital Forensics.

Note: This course is provided in conjunction with InfoSec Skills®, who are a CREST accredited training organisation.
