Bind shell cheatsheet

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.

This reversal of roles is what gives the technique its name.
