A bind shell is a type of remote access shell in which the target (or victim) machine opens a specific network port and listens for incoming connections. Once this port is open, an attacker can connect to it from a remote location and gain command-line access to the target system, allowing them to execute commands as if they were physically present at the machine.

A reverse shell is a technique used to gain remote command-line access to a computer, typically as part of a cyberattack. Unlike a traditional remote shell (or “bind shell”), where an attacker connects directly to a target system that is listening for incoming connections, a reverse shell works by having the victim’s machine initiate an outbound connection to the attacker’s computer. This reversal of roles is what gives the technique its name.
