The 312-49 exam is the official exam behind the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) credential from EC-COUNCIL. It sits at the Specialist / Professional level of the EC-COUNCIL certification track. It is also associated with CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), ECSA, LPT. The Exams4sures practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The 312-49 exam contains 150 questions and gives you 240 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the Exams4sures test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need 70% (range: 60%–85% per exam form) to pass the 312-49 exam, and the official registration fee is $650 USD. A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed Exams4sures practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.

Option 1: Complete official EC-Council CHFI training; Option 2: Minimum 2 years of verified information security/forensics experience + eligibility approval

Requirements can change, so confirm the latest details on the official EC-COUNCIL exam page before you register.
