About:
Goresym is a sophisticated symbol recovery tool designed specifically for Go (Golang) compiled binaries. It reconstructs vital debugging information such as function names, file paths, and type definitions that are typically stripped during the compilation process. This capability is essential for reverse engineering and analyzing Go applications where debug symbols are unavailable.
Key Features:
  • Reconstructs Go function names and package paths from stripped binaries
  • Recovers detailed runtime type information and interface definitions
  • Supports multiple Go versions and architectures
  • Provides structured output for easy analysis integration
Use Cases:
  • Reverse engineering malware written in Go
  • Analyzing third-party Go binaries without source access
  • Debugging production Go applications lacking symbols
  • Security research and vulnerability assessment of Go programs
Alternatives:
  • IDA Pro with Go plugins – Commercial solution with broader binary analysis features but higher cost
  • Ghidra – Open-source alternative requiring manual configuration for Go symbol recovery
