Open Source Go Security Software for ChromeOS

Ligolo-ng is a simple, lightweight and fast tool that allows pentesters to establish tunnels from a reverse TCP/TLS connection using a tun interface (without the need of SOCKS). When running the relay/proxy server, a tun interface is used, packets sent to this interface are translated and then transmitted to the agent's remote network. You need to download the Wintun driver (used by WireGuard) and place the wintun.dll in the same folder as Ligolo. You can listen to ports on the agent and redirect connections to your control/proxy server. You can easily hit more than 100 Mbits/sec. Here is a test using iperf from a 200Mbits/s server to a 200Mbits/s connection.

A post-exploitation framework for Linux/Windows. Initially, emp3r0r was developed as one of my weaponizing experiments. It was a learning process for me trying to implement common Linux adversary techniques and some of my original ideas. So, what makes emp3r0r different? First of all, it is the first C2 framework that targets Linux platform including the capability of using any other tools through it. Take a look at the features for more valid reasons to use it.

Kubesploit is a cross-platform post-exploitation HTTP/2 Command & Control server and agent dedicated for containerized environments written in Golang and built on top of Merlin project by Russel Van Tuyl. While researching Docker and Kubernetes, we noticed that most of the tools available today are aimed at passive scanning for vulnerabilities in the cluster, and there is a lack of more complex attack vector coverage. They might allow you to see the problem but not exploit it. It is important to run the exploit to simulate a real-world attack that will be used to determine corporate resilience across the network. When running an exploit, it will practice the organization's cyber event management, which doesn't happen when scanning for cluster issues. It can help the organization learn how to operate when real attacks happen, see if its other detection system works as expected and what changes should be made.

Merlin is a cross-platform post-exploitation Command & Control server and agent written in Go. The Merlin server is a self-contained command line program that requires no installation. You just simply download it and run it. The command-line interface only works great if it will be used by a single operator at a time. The Merlin agent can be controlled through Mythic, which features a web-based user interface that enables multiplayer support, and a slew of other features inherent to the project.

Coraza is an open-source, enterprise-grade, high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) ready to protect your beloved applications. It is written in Go, supports ModSecurity SecLang rulesets and is 100% compatible with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Coraza is a drop-in alternative to replace the soon-to-be abandoned Trustwave ModSecurity Engine and supports industry-standard SecLang rule sets. Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances.

Exposure Notifications Server is an open source reference implementation developed by Google to support the COVID-19 Exposure Notifications API, designed for use by public health authorities around the world. The server provides a secure and privacy-preserving backend system that enables governments and organizations to deploy exposure notification applications for Android and iOS devices. It handles essential backend functions, including receiving and validating temporary exposure keys from users who have tested positive, storing those keys, and generating downloadable key files for mobile devices to check for potential exposure matches. The system integrates cryptographic signing for authenticity, supports configurable data retention policies, and ensures user privacy by design—no personally identifiable information is stored or transmitted. Built to be platform-agnostic, it can be deployed on any infrastructure or cloud service.

Key Transparency is a system for accountable public-key discovery that lets users and senders verify the keys associated with an account over time. It combines an append-only log with a verifiable map so changes to a user’s keys produce cryptographic proofs, enabling clients to detect malicious insertions or undetected key rotations. The architecture separates operators from verifiers: even if the service is compromised, independent clients can audit inclusion and consistency proofs to maintain trust. APIs and reference components demonstrate how account lookup, update, and auditing flows fit together for messaging or identity systems. By making key state globally visible and tamper-evident, the project reduces the need to blindly trust a single directory operator. It serves as a blueprint for building end-to-end encryption ecosystems that remain transparent and accountable at Internet scale.

The security first OAuth2 & OpenID Connect framework for Go. Built simple, powerful, and extensible. This library implements peer-reviewed IETF RFC6749, counterfeits weaknesses covered in peer-reviewed IETF RFC6819 and countermeasures various database attack scenarios, keeping your application safe when that hacker penetrates or leaks your database. OpenID Connect is implemented according to OpenID Connect Core 1.0 incorporating errata set 1 and includes all flows: code, implicit, and hybrid. OAuth2 and OpenID Connect are difficult protocols. If you want quick wins, we strongly encourage you to look at Hydra. Hydra is a secure, high-performance, cloud native OAuth2 and OpenID Connect service that integrates with every authentication method imaginable and is built on top of Fosite.
