Basically, the ":" is IPv6, and 0.0.0.0 is "all interfaces on your machine"
listetning on that port.

Hopefully this will help:

NETSTAT Displays a LISTENING Port with IP Address 0.0.0.0. When you carry
out the command netstat -an, you may receive a display that shows an IP
address of 0.0.0.0 in LISTENING status.
