About:
Redress is a specialized tool for reverse engineering and analyzing stripped Go binaries. It extracts and reconstructs valuable metadata like function names, types, and file paths that are typically lost during compilation, providing crucial insights for security researchers and malware analysts. Its main value lies in making opaque Go executables transparent for forensic examination.
|
Key Features:
- Analyzes stripped Go binaries to recover lost metadata
- Reconstructs function names, types, and embedded file paths
- Supports binaries compiled with standard Go toolchain
- Outputs structured data for further analysis
- Command-line interface for integration into workflows
|
Use Cases:
- Malware analysis and reverse engineering of Go-based threats
- Forensic investigation of suspicious Go executables
- Security research on compiled Go application internals
|
Alternatives:
-
gobuster
– Focuses on directory/file brute-forcing in web apps, not binary analysis
-
Ghidra
– General-purpose reverse engineering framework, less specialized for Go metadata recovery
