hello why does it show port as 0.0.0.0 whereas i mentioned LPORT am i doing it the right way?
Hey there - those two commands are not related.
When you specify LHOST and LPORT in Step 1, you are specifying the IP Address and Port that your malware will contact once executed on the victim machine.
In Step 2, you’re setting up a Python web server on the Kali machine that you will use to transfer the malware in the upcoming steps. 0.0.0.0 effectively refers to localhost, meaning that it is running on the Kali server (linux - What's the difference in localhost vs 0.0.0.0? - Server Fault).
The only issue I see in your screenshot is that you may have an invalid IP address specified in the msfvenom command. IP addresses ending in .255 are generally reserved as a broadcast address, so it seems unlikely that’s the correct IP address for your Kali workstation. I would re-run ip a to double-check.

Hi, I would like to ask for your help. I’ve been trying to complete this lab, but I keep getting the following error:
“handler failed to bind to ”.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
I’m not sure the exact step you are on, but I think you are trying to use the wrong IP when you create the listener in msf. However, it is binding to 0.0.0.0 which should work.
