Attack Methods

The team liked the information you provided about authenticated and unauthenticated attacks, but they are still a little confused about the difference between active and passive attacks and how they relate to the authenticated attacks previously described. Take this opportunity to describe how active and passive attacks work and the authenticated and unauthenticated attacks tie together with them. Address the following and add your responses to your final Key Assignment:

1. A description of active attacks.
2. A description of passive attacks.
3. 3 examples of each (6 total) but ensure that 3 are Windows based and 3 are UNIX based.
4. Include a discussion talking about how authenticated and unauthenticated attacks are used during passive and active attacks.

Add the discussion about the attack methods and examples to the section titled: Attack Methods.
