Which of the following security attacks is not an active attack? ORWhich of the following attacks is a passive attack?
Masquerade
Modification of message
Denial of service
Traffic analysis
Correct Answer :
D. Traffic analysis
In a passive attack, the attacker does not modify any part of the data. His attempt is only to obtain the information and not to modify it. From the mentioned options, this happens only in Traffic analysis in which the attacker monitors the pattern of transmission. The rest other options are examples of active attacks.
