The answer

Assaulting programs owned by others on the Internet is impermissible because they are material and moral rights protected by Islamic law. As for training outside working hours, it is not permissible if the employment contract prohibits it, unless the authorized entity grants permission, keeping in mind that the manager's statement may imply that he does not have the authority to grant such permission.
