Hi there,
Active attack:
An attacker tries to modify the content of messages. Attacker interrupts the content of message. It modifies actual information.
Passive attack:
In passive attack, an attacker observes the messages and copies them. It does not modify actual information.
Example of active attack :
session hijacking, main-in-the middle,impersonation.
Example of passive attack:
Traffic analysis and release of messages contents.
Hope it helps you
Good luck!
