The GNFA exam, officially titled GIAC Network Forensic Analyst (GNFA), is the GIAC exam you pass to earn the GIAC Network Forensic Analyst (GNFA) certification, a credential at the Advanced / Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA), GIAC Certified Forensic Examiner (GCFE), GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM).

The GNFA exam includes 66 questions and gives you 180 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the GNFA exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $999 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $999 USD again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

GIAC lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the GNFA exam: No formal prerequisites; recommended background in networking, security, and digital forensics; SANS FOR572 training strongly recommended but not required. Requirements can change over time, so confirm the details on the official exam page at GIAC's official site before you register.
