Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive scanning involves a station listening for a beacon frame with an SSID for a set period of time. The station does not send out any probe requests or broadcasts. Once it receives the beacon frame, it can then send a probe request to the AP with a matching SSID to initiate the connection process.
