Go Rust Reverse

Bundled with Unleash skills pack. Upstream: https://github.com/zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill

Go / Rust Binary Reverse Engineering

ACTION REQUIRED (execute immediately after reading)

1. NOW: read ../field-journal/precedent-reverse.md
2. NOW: confirm the sample is a Go/Rust build (file/strings/runtime signatures)
3. NEXT: check whether GoReSym / related plugins are available
4. ACT: runtime identification → symbol/metadata recovery → business logic

Applicable Scenarios

• Symbol-stripped Go malware/tools
• Rust release binaries, panic-string-driven analysis
• Language-specific methods complementing generic ida/ghidra

Workflow

Go

□ Identify go.buildid, runtime symbol remnants, pclntab
□ Recover function names with GoReSym / redress / IDA Go plugins
□ Watch how interface, slice, string structures appear in decompilation
□ Network/crypto library paths: crypto/* net/http

Rust

□ Panic strings, rust_begin_unwind, crate path hints
□ Code bloat from generic instantiation; locate string xrefs first
□ Async/tokio state machines need cross-references

Dynamic

□ Frida still works; mind the Go stack and scheduler
□ Prefer breakpoints driven by logs and config strings

Downstream: malicious sample workflow malware-analysis; generic RE reverse-engineering

Task Completion Self-Check

• Recovered key function names or an equivalent mapping?
• Language-runtime evidence annotated?
• Checklist?
