Exploit failed: The following options failed to validate: LHOST. - iDaniel19 - Oct 22, 2015
Hello. I am really new to this and I was following the "The Hacker Ethos - First Edition Free" book and I got to the 'Metasploit' part -> "―msf
exploit(unreal_ircd_3281_backdoor)” . I used this to see the list of available exploits "exploit –h", but when I try to use any I get "Exploit failed: The following options failed to validate: LHOST." . What does this mean ? I tried to search it before posting but couldn't find anything to explain or help. Thank you.

it probably means you failed to specify the options.
try: show options
and then SET LHOST your ip

That solved the problem. Thank you. Now I have another:
Code
[*] Started reverse double handler
[*] Connected to ip:6667...
:irc.Metasploitable.LAN NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
[*] Sending backdoor command...
