Would you use a Firewall that had a cracked .dll?

[ArC]

Some programs don't check the serial
number directly. Instead they send it
to a registration server where it is checked.
In that case the only way to crack the app
(without patching) is to create a fake
response code. Since this can be very
difficult it is easier to patch the app.

This technique is mostly used by programs
which are connected to the I-Net like
servers/clients or firewalls.
A good example for this is GlobalScape Secure FTP Server.

But of course it is a security risk to download
patched exe's/dll's for network apps
like firewalls.
If you don't trust in a crack, I suggest to
crack the app on your own or to buy it.
