A command-line tool that obfuscates Go binaries by compiling from obfuscated source code. It hashes package names, global identifiers, method names, and masks string literals to prevent leaking source information from compiled executables.

Use cases

  • obfuscate a go binary before shipping it
  • hide package paths and identifiers in compiled go executables
  • remove github usernames from go binaries
  • mask string literals in go programs
  • protect go source information from reverse engineering

When to choose

  • you distribute Go binaries and want to hide package paths, names, and strings
  • you want a simple CLI that produces an obfuscated binary in one step

When to avoid

  • your project uses CGO or assembly files, which gobfuscate cannot fully obfuscate
  • you need actively maintained tooling with recent updates
