I have heard from dumpster diving only. But I don't think this a passive activity…. Or I don't know what passive means in this context 😎

Active and passive are terms to describe whether there’s an interaction with the target.

In the world of cybersecurity, Dumpster diving is the process of searching among trash to obtain useful information about people or business that can later be used for the hacking purpose!
