Comments 
NetBus 1.60 added a file manager so now the "hacker" can actually see files on the server. This version allows the server to be password protected by using the NetBus GUI, but the password is still insecure. This was also the first version where the extra keyhook file was no longer needed to be uploaded with the server.
