A set of IDA Pro Python scripts that parse Go type information embedded in compiled Go binaries and register the recovered types inside IDA. It supports Go 1.7 through 1.10 and adds basic string recognition for the current function.

Use cases

• analyze a compiled Go binary in IDA Pro
• recover Go type definitions from a stripped executable
• rename and structure types in an IDA database for reverse engineering
• find and label strings inside a Go function during reversing
• reverse engineer malware written in Go

When to choose

• you reverse engineer Go binaries in IDA Pro and need type information restored
• you analyze Go 1.7-1.10 executables with stripped symbols
• you want automated Go type parsing instead of manual struct definition

When to avoid

• you use a different disassembler than IDA Pro
• you need support for very recent Go versions beyond 1.10
• you need a maintained tool with an active release cycle and license
