Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 132

You have used a newly released forensic investigation tool, which doesn't meet the Daubert Test, during a case. The case has ended-up in court. What argument could the defense make to weaken your case?

Answer options

• A. The tool hasn't been tested by the International Standards Organization (ISO)
• B. Only the local law enforcement should use the tool
• C. The total has not been reviewed and accepted by your peers
• D. You are not certified for using the tool

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights the importance of peer review and acceptance in establishing the credibility of evidence. If the tool has not been scrutinized and validated by other professionals in the field, it could be seen as unreliable. The other options do not directly address the tool's acceptance and reliability in the context of the court's standards.
