What kind of router?  What code version?  What does the configuration file
look like?  What kind of connection are you making?  telnet, ssh, console?

When you say the PC is running slow, do you mean the CPU is under heavy load
or is there just a lot of hard drive activity?

Subject: my pc hacked?

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
