A bindshell is a remote shell connection, similar to the connection a telnet client preforms to a telnet server. Any operating system supporting a TCP stack and a shell will have the potential to provide bindshell access. Typically, when a system is successfully hacked/attacked by an exploit, it will execute code that sets up the bindshell listener. This a llows access to the system from any device capable of connecting to the bindshell port. There are various methods to setup a bindshell. For example, exploits use shellcode to spawn threads. From an operating level the tool commonly used is netcat, which can tunnel stdout and stdin over TCP connections.
