While it may sound tempting, I\u2019m not so sure the boss would see the activity in a positive light.&nbsp; Could be that, by using this app at work, you could find yourself with your days wide open.<br>\nAndSMB \u2013 this particular app doesn\u2019t look so inappropriate, until you consider that it poses a security risk.&nbsp; Another security risk type app is Backtrack5 Linux Installer, which allows the user to (according to the write up) \u201cperform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While
