Please tell me how to obfuscate the code

[bluefire]

I am trying to code obfuscation for binaries written in go language, please help me

[telo_tade]

aren’t the binaries already obfuscated ?

[NobbZ (Norbert Melzer)]

What kind of obfuscation do you actually need? What is your threat model?

[bluefire]

Code obfuscation is required to prevent leakage of source code when writing a program with go.

I haven’t done it yet

[christophberger]

Hi @bluefire, code obfuscation does not prevent source code leakage, it only makes it more difficult to reverse-engineer the code.

See e.g. these forum topics:

Are you aware of any obfuscation method/tool for go?

Hi, I have a social media management startup formerly written in javascript which i’m currently entirely rewriting in go because i am really really tired of nodejs’s single thread nonblocking io thing (everything has to be async so instead of thinking the algorithm you should first thing how to node i hated this ). Well , sometimes i share binaries with outsource workers for front-end or design while building i am already striping the binary using ldflags but anyway go seems pretty easy to rev…

I need reverse engineering protection tool

I need reverse engineering tool for Go Lang based applications. and also reverse engineering protection tools for Go Lang based applications. could you give me the solution , for me as soon as possible.

And this thread in golang-nuts:

Any solution to hide my source code written in Go and make it a library to develop in Go as well

Some suggestions from the above sources:

• Do not deliver a binary to your customers, make it a Web service instead
• Search for better customers if you cannot trust your current ones
• Protect your rights legally

This being said, there are some obfuscation projects around. Searching the Web for “golang code obfuscation”, I found burrowers/garble: Obfuscate Go builds and unixpickle/gobfuscate: Obfuscate Go binaries and packages, and there are probably more, but really, don’t put your bets on obfuscation.
