== '''Understanding Active and Passive Attacks''' ==

== '''Objective:''' ==

* By the end of this lesson, students will be able to differentiate between active and passive attacks in the context of cybersecurity.

== '''Materials:''' ==
- Whiteboard and markers

== '''1. Introduction (2 minutes)''' ==

*    Begin by explaining the importance of cybersecurity and the various types of threats that exist in the digital world.
*     Introduce the concept of active and passive attacks, highlighting that both are strategies used by hackers to compromise systems and data.

== '''2. Passive Attacks (3 minutes)''' ==

*    Define passive attacks as attempts to gain unauthorized access to information without affecting the system's resources or altering the data.
*    Provide examples of passive attacks, such as eavesdropping on network communications, monitoring user activities, and capturing data during transmission.

== '''3. Active Attacks (3 minutes)''' ==

*    Define active attacks as attempts to alter system resources or data, disrupt services, or gain unauthorized access by exploiting vulnerabilities.
*     Provide examples of active attacks, such as malware infections, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and unauthorized access through password cracking.

== '''4. Key Differences (1 minute)''' ==

*    Highlight the key differences between active and passive attacks, such as the level of interaction with the target system, the impact on system resources, and the intent of the attacker.

== '''5. Discussion and Recap (1 minute)''' ==

*    Engage the students in a brief discussion to ensure their understanding of the differences between active and passive attacks.
*    Recap the main points of the lesson and encourage students to remain vigilant against both types of attacks.

== '''Conclusion:''' ==

*    Conclude the lesson by emphasizing the importance of implementing robust cybersecurity measures to defend against both active and passive attacks.
