A fundamental rule of digital forensics is to work within a clean, secure environment. Running a cracked application that introduces malware onto the forensic workstation actively contaminates the environment. The malware could modify the evidence files ( .E01 or .Ex01 images) during analysis, rendering the entire investigation useless.
