Once echo disabled your tool will receive keyboard input but the letters will not be showed on the screen.

void EchoEnable(int EchoOn)
{
    struct termios TermConf;

    tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &TermConf);

    if(EchoOn)
       TermConf.c_lflag |= (ICANON | ECHO);
    else
       TermConf.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO);

    tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &TermConf);
}
