Passive attack:
So in passive attack a hacker intrudes your system, and waits for some valuable information.
An example could be: A keylogger which sends the input given by the victim to a hacker via a network(LAN or internet whatever).
Active attack: In an active attack a hacker tries to get the valuable information by using his abilities rather than depending on the stupidity of the victim.
An example could be: Using Brute force to crack the password of a system.

∙ 14y agoWith passive security threats the attacker only reads the packages, but does not modify them (for example sniffing) Goal: obtain info that's being transmitted. with an active attack the attacker attempts to alter system resources or effect their operations. Involves modification of data streams / creation of a false stream.

Define the difference between active and passive Prevetive Maintenance In Computer System?
Active maintenance is for all hard ware components and Passive maintenance for the supporting devices of hard ware components
What is the difference between a heatsink and water cooling?
Heatsink uses what they call passive cooling where as liquid cooling systems use active cooling.
Difference between active and passive components?
ACTIVE COMPONENTS The components which produce the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as active components. Example:transistors etc,. PASSIVE COMPONENTS The components which stores the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as passive components. example:inductors,resistors,capacitors etc,.

How does active termination improve upon passive termination?
In active termination scheme it removes the thermal noise which results in the passive termination due to the end resistors..
Diffrentiate between active heatsink and passive heatsink?
In a active heatsink system you have both a heatsink and a fan thus for the most part an active heatsink cools better with one exception. Should the fan fail the active heatsink will quickly overheat. Passive heatsinks relay on transferring heat without the aid of a fan. The advantage here is that a passive heatsink is fail proof and uses 0 electricity, however passive heatsinks don't typical cool as well. Passive heatsinks work great for supporting chips and RAM cooling. They are also found in servers because of the no fail aspect. EnzoTech produces some passive heatsinks you can read a bit more about them here: http://electricalninja.com/

The difference between active transport and passive transport is?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
The difference between a passive and an active dividend policy.?
The difference between a passive and an active dividend policy lies in the amount of time between dividend disbursement. In a passive dividend policy, dividends are given when the company decides it is time. With an active dividend policy, dividends are disbursed at regular intervals.
What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?
The difference between active and passive transport, is that, active transport, requires energy input from the cell, in order to occur, unlike passive, which occurs, without any energy input.

Difference between active and passive optical component?
Fiber optic couplers can be either active or passive devices. The difference between active and passive couplers is that a passive coupler redistributes the optical signal without optical-to-electrical conversion. Active couplers are electronic devices that split or combine the signal electrically and use fiber optic detectors and sources for input and output.
What is difference between active voice and passive voice?
active is lilly milks the cow . you put the ersons name first. passive is the cow is milked by lilly
What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What is the difference between active and passive resistance?
Active resistance involves taking direct action to oppose or obstruct a certain force or authority, often through physical or vocal means. Passive resistance, on the other hand, involves nonviolent tactics such as noncooperation or civil disobedience to resist without using physical force.
8 What is the difference between active and passive voice?
Active voice is when the subject of a sentence performs the action, while passive voice is when the subject receives the action. In active voice, the sentence is structured subject-verb-object, whereas in passive voice, the sentence is structured object-verb-subject. Active voice is more direct and concise, while passive voice can be used to focus on the receiver of the action or when the doer is unknown or less important.
Differentiate between active and passive biometrics?
