Like the best-selling Black Hat Python Black Hat Go explores the darker side of the popular Go
programming language. This collection of short scripts will help you test your systems build
and automate tools to fit your needs and improve your offensive security skillset. Black Hat
Go explores the darker side of Go the popular programming language revered by hackers for its
simplicity efficiency and reliability. It provides an arsenal of practical tactics from the
perspective of security practitioners and hackers to help you test your systems build and
automate tools to fit your needs and improve your offensive security skillset all using the
power of Go. You'll begin your journey with a basic overview of Go's syntax and philosophy and
then start to explore examples that you can leverage for tool development including common
network protocols like HTTP DNS and SMB. You'll then dig into various tactics and problems
that penetration testers encounter addressing things like data pilfering packet sniffing and
exploit development. You'll create dynamic pluggable tools before diving into cryptography
attacking Microsoft Windows and implementing steganography. You'll learn how to: • Make
performant tools that can be used for your own security projects • Create usable tools that
interact with remote APIs • Scrape arbitrary HTML data • Use Go's standard package net http
for building HTTP servers • Write your own DNS server and proxy • Use DNS tunneling to
establish a C2 channel out of a restrictive network • Create a vulnerability fuzzer to discover
an application's security weaknesses • Use plug-ins and extensions to future-proof
productsBuild an RC2 symmetric-key brute-forcer • Implant data within a Portable Network
