GO may not longer be the "newest" language, however it is fairly new in terms of reverse engineering. Over the past few years there has been an uptick in malware and non-malicious binaries being distributed in the wild -- though there has been very little documentation provided on how to reverse engineer these things. In an effort to increase community knowledge we will go over how GO works, how to approach reversing it and demo the updated open source kit for reverse GO binaries. We will also tackle how people currently "harden" binaries and how we suggest people should further harden their binaries.
