What is the difference between active scan and passive scan?

Passive scanning is a method of vulnerability detection that relies on information gleaned from network data that is captured from a target computer without direct interaction.
Burp Scanner can automatically do vulnerability assessment of web applications. We can conduct an active scan, which involves sending more data to the server, or passive scanning, which is basically looking for vulnerabilities passing through the Proxy tool.
Active scanning attempts to find potential vulnerabilities by using known attacks against the selected targets. Active scanning is an attack on those targets. You should NOT use it on web applications that you do not own.
Passive scanning does not change the requests and responses in any way, and is therefore safe to use. Active Scan: Attempts to find potential vulnerabilities by using known attacks against the selected targets. You must perform active scan only if you have permission to test the application.
Passive scanning listens to beacons sent by the access points. That means waiting for the beacon to be sent (usually a few seconds).
An active scanning will emit probes to those APs immediately.
