Bind shells have the listener running on the target and the attacker connect to the listener in order to gain a remote shell.
A Bind Shell is like a setup where remote consoles are established with other computers over the network. In Bind shell, an attacker launches a service (like Netcat) on the target computer, to which the attacker can connect as you can see in the above example. 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.
Reverse shells have the listener running on the attacker and the target connects to the attacker with a shell.
A Reverse Shell is like a setup, where the attacker must first start the server on his machine, while the target machine will have to act as a client that connects to the server served by the attacker. After the successful connection, the attacker can gain access to the shell of the target computer.
