## What it is
A free tutorial series teaching Go programming to security professionals, modeled on the Black Hat Python/C# book series. It covers Go fundamentals plus practical security topics like TCP/UDP networking, SSH clients, TCP proxies, file parsing, and fuzzing with go-fuzz.

## Use cases
- learn go for security work
- write tcp proxies in go
- build ssh clients with go
- fuzz go packages with go-fuzz
- go tutorial for pentesters
- learn go networking for hacking tools

## When to choose
- you are a security professional wanting to learn Go through practical offensive/security examples
- you want free, hands-on tutorial content with accompanying code
- you want to learn go-fuzz with real worked examples

## When to avoid
- you need a comprehensive, up-to-date Go reference - content is incomplete (WIP sections) and last updated in 2020
- you want a polished published book - Black Hat Go by No Starch covers similar ground
- you are a complete beginner to programming rather than to Go

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, networking, parser, fuzzing, developer-tools
- domain: security, tutorials, programming-languages, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: go-security, tutorial, black-hat-go, offensive-security, tcp-proxy, ssh, go-fuzz
