Difference between active and passive threats?

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. Answered by: 21st Ninja GOD


What is ddosing?

Distributed Denial Of Service (DDoS) is simply using a botnet (look it up.) or a lot of infected computers to send massive amounts of large packets, ddosing can be UDP, SSYN, HTTP, Apache,and more. It can be targeted to a single individual, or can be a large website/network. DDoSing requires a large amounts of bots (infected machines) to actually do any a real damage. a DDoS attack must not be confused with a DOS attack. A DOS attack is the same thing, except it is not distributed, therefore not being as strong, and you are more likely to get caught, as it is using YOUR connection. That is my summary of DDoSing.
