Thank you so much for all your help. When I telnet Cisco rouer IP address from dos prompt, I can see the password as I typed.your "local echo" of hyperterminal may be turned on,That's true for hyperterminal. (thanks) Is there anyway you can turn off echo when you telnet from dos prompt? Thanks, HongIn addition, your "local echo" of hyperterminal maybe turned on, which would let you see the password or anything else you typed.

Other than that, the PC moving slow is unlikely to be an indication that you were "hacked", especially if there are no unusual processes running or unusual ports open. Note, if NMAP turned up ZERO open ports, the scan probably did not run properly or you have a locked-down firewall (in which case, getting hacked is very unlikely).

Hi, all I think my workstation was hacked. (windows 2000 professional) When I connect to the router to do some configurations through hyperterminal and I can see the password on the screen, even with encrypted password. The pc was incredible slow. I tried netstat -na and did not see the suspicious connection. Show processes and only see one suspicious "webcompserver.exe" (did not google this yet). I tried to use nmap to scan ports and shows all posts are closed. Any idea or suggestions whether the pc was hacked? Thanks in advance, Hong __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
