Answer: Passive wiretap

Explanation: passive wiretap is the monitoring or recording of data that attempts only to observe a communication flow and gain knowledge of the data it contains, but does not alter or otherwise affect that flow. Wiretapping is a process in which passive devices are used to monitor or record data that are being transmitted in a line or a loop, Passive wiretapping happens when attackers are trying to obtain users information through the communication channel.
