## What it is
Redress is a command-line tool for analyzing stripped Go binaries, reconstructing symbols and extracting information such as compiler version, packages, types, and source code projections. It can run standalone or integrate with radare2 via r2pipe.

## Use cases
- analyze a stripped Go binary
- recover package and type information from a Go executable
- identify the Go compiler version used to build a binary
- analyze malware written in Go
- integrate Go binary analysis into radare2
- extract go.mod information from a compiled binary

## When to choose
- you need to reverse-engineer or triage a stripped Go binary
- you do malware analysis and encounter Go-compiled samples
- you want radare2 integration for Go binary inspection

## When to avoid
- the binary was not compiled with the Go compiler
- you need a full interactive disassembler rather than a Go-specific analysis tool

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, security, cli, parser
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, go
- tags: go-binaries, stripped-binaries, malware-analysis, radare2, binary-analysis, command-line, linux, macos
