Description

The NETObserve PC surveillance software uses a web service to provide remote access to the monitored PC. This web service requires a username and password to access, however this authentication can be bypassed by specifying the cookie value of 'login=0'. Once access has been obtained, all features of the NetObserve system are available, including the ability to upload files and execute commands.
