Unfortunately trying to conduct forensic examination tasks as a normal user is 
like pulling teeth, so it's a necessary evil I'm afraid. I mainly use "sudo su" 
for tasks that require escalated privileges (file carving, imaging etc) and 
then do the rest (searching, information gathering, reporting etc) with a user 
account. I should also mention that the examination machine has a specific user 
account and group for forensic work and it hardly ever ( updated once a month 
usually) gets connected to the outside world so the risk is greatly reduced. 
But yes, I fully agree that it's a bad idea generally to run as root.
