Raw Blame History

Active v Passive Attacks

Passive: compromising a system but not necessarily doing anything apart from watching

Active: compromising a system while doing something to the system apart from infiltrating it

wait what?

Passive can be just like listening in on a conversation(eavesdropping) where active is like jumping into the conversation and trying to do something to it.
