Active / Passive

The WiFi Pineapple VII does a great job getting WiFi handshakes for sure, but I don't understand the difference between active and passive modes. It logs handshakes in passive mode okay. When I watch the access points in active mode the WiFi Pineapple creates duplicate access points, and I see clients connecting to them. I would like someone to explain to me what is happening in active mode and when I should use it. Thanks!

The UI explains the differences between the two modes, but essentially Active is the same as Passive with the addition of Beacon Responses and SSID Pool Broadcasting.

No, you can use the modules with Passive mode (or even with PineAP disabled), as well as have clients connect if your filters are configured to allow them. The settings for PineAP are just tools to try and assist in making certain attacks more effective.
