A collection of small Go example programs implementing classic hacker and pentester tools such as port scanners, password bruteforcers, DNS lookups, ciphers, and forensics utilities. It is a learning resource inspired by books like 'Black Hat Go' and 'Violent Python', organized as many standalone projects.

Use cases

• learn to write security tools in Go
• example of a TCP port scanner in golang
• brute force SSH or zip passwords
• extract PDF metadata and image geotags for forensics
• implement classical ciphers like Caesar and Vigenere in Go
• scan a network for devices
• find subdomains of a domain

When to choose

• you are a beginner learning Go through security-oriented examples
• you want reference implementations of classic pentest tooling in Go
• you need small copyable snippets for scanning, bruteforce, or forensics tasks

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, maintained pentesting framework
• you want a single polished tool rather than many small examples
• you require guaranteed correctness or security auditing of the code
