Participle
A parser library for Go
Participle is a parser library for Go that lets developers define parsers in an idiomatic Go style. It uses annotated Go structs to describe grammar rules and produce the parsed AST at the same time. This approach feels familiar to Go developers because it resembles the way struct tags are used for formats such as JSON. The library supports a rich grammar syntax with captures, recursive captures, grouping, alternatives, repetition, lookahead, and literal matching. It also supports custom capture behavior, union-like parser structures, and custom parsing hooks for more advanced grammars. Participle is useful when developers want readable parser definitions without switching to a separate grammar file or external parser generator. -

Interactsh
An OOB interaction gathering server and client library
Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. It is a tool designed to detect vulnerabilities that cause external interactions. Interactsh Cli client requires go1.17+ to install successfully. interactsh-client with -sf, -session-file flag can be used store/read the current session information from user defined file which is useful to resume the same session to poll the interactions even after the client gets stopped or closed. Running the interactsh-client in verbose mode (v) to see the whole request and response, along with an output file to analyze afterwards. Using the server flag, interactsh-client can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma. Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server. -

AndroidLibXrayLite
Lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core
AndroidLibXrayLite is a lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core as an embeddable component for apps. Its purpose is to provide a minimal, size-optimized build of the native core with a clear Java/Kotlin interface to start, stop, and configure network tunnels. By exposing the core as an AAR with per-ABI artifacts, it keeps application footprints small while supporting common CPU architectures. The library abstracts process management and log streaming so host apps can control lifecycles and capture diagnostics. It’s particularly useful for developers who want to integrate secure, rule-based proxying into their own Android apps without re-implementing the native glue. With a focus on stability and easy updates, it shortens the path from concept to a working in-app networking stack. -

Go Container Registry
Go library and CLIs for working with container registries
go-containerregistry is a Go library (with companion tools) for interacting with container images and registries using OCI/Docker formats. It provides primitives to read, write, mutate, sign, and copy images and indexes across registries without shelling out to Docker. High-level utilities like crane and gcrane offer convenient CLIs for everyday tasks—listing tags, copying images between registries, flattening, creating tarballs, and more. The library handles authentication via a pluggable keychain system that understands Docker config files, credential helpers, and environment credentials. It understands multiple on-disk layouts (tarball, OCI layout, remote) and lets you transform images in memory by adding or rebasing layers, adjusting config, and annotating manifests. Because everything is regular Go code, it’s straightforward to embed in CI/CD systems, policy engines, and bespoke supply-chain tooling. -

Hacks
A collection of hacks and one-off scripts
Hacks is a collection of experimental scripts, utilities, and one-off tools created to solve specific problems in security research, data processing, and automation. Rather than being a single cohesive application, it serves as a repository of practical command-line tools that can be used independently or combined into workflows. The scripts cover a wide range of tasks, including URL manipulation, parameter replacement, data extraction, and reconnaissance automation. Many of the tools in the repository are designed for efficiency and simplicity, enabling users to perform complex operations with minimal overhead. It is particularly popular among security researchers and developers who need quick, flexible solutions for niche problems. -

GoNB
GoNB, a Go Notebook Kernel for Jupyter
Go is a compiled language, but with very fast compilation, that allows one to use it in a REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) fashion, by inserting a "Compile" step in the middle of the loop -- so it's a Read-Compile-Run-Print-Loop — while still feeling very interactive. GoNB leverages that compilation speed to implement a full-featured (at least it's getting there) Jupyter notebook kernel. As a side benefit it works with packages that use CGO — although it won't parse C code in the cells, so it can't be used as a C kernel. It already includes many goodies: cache between cell of results, contextual help and auto-complete (with gopls), compilation error context (by mousing over), bash command execution, images, html, etc. See the tutorial. It's been heavily used by the author (in developing GoMLX, a machine learning framework for Go), but should still be seen as experimental — if we hear success stories from others, we can change this. -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

Globally Unique ID Generator
xid is a globally unique id generator thought for the web
Globally Unique ID Generator is a Go library for generating globally unique identifiers that are compact, sortable, and safe to use directly in server-side code. It uses a MongoDB ObjectID-inspired structure with a timestamp, machine identifier, process identifier, and counter. The binary form is 12 bytes, while the string form uses lowercase base32hex encoding to create a 20-character URL-safe representation. This makes xid shorter than standard UUID strings while preserving chronological sortability. It does not require a central generator server or explicit machine and data-center configuration, which makes it convenient for distributed web services. It is well suited for database records, API resources, logs, events, and other systems that need practical unique IDs without the length and randomness tradeoffs of UUIDs. -
18
env
A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables
Parse environment variables to structs in Go. In Go, it’s dead simple to get the value from an environment variable. If you have a type that is not supported out of the box by the lib, you are able to use (or define) and pass custom parsers (and their associated reflect.Type) to the env.ParseWithFuncs() function. Env supports by default anything that implements the TextUnmarshaler interface. That includes things like time.Time for example. The upside is that depending on the format you need, you don't need to change anything. The downside is that if you do need time in another format, you'll need to create your own type. By default, slice types will split the environment value on ,; you can change this behavior by setting the envSeparator tag. If you set the envExpand tag, environment variables (either in ${var} or $var format) in the string will be replaced according with the actual value of the variable. -

Go CORS handler
Go net/http configurable handler to handle CORS requests
Go CORS handler is a Go package that provides a configurable middleware handler for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing in net/http applications. It is designed to make CORS behavior explicit, predictable, and easy to insert into an existing HTTP handler chain. Developers can define which origins, methods, headers, and credentials are allowed, instead of scattering CORS logic across routes. The library also handles preflight requests, making it useful for APIs consumed by browsers, frontend apps, and third-party clients. Because it returns a standard net/http handler, it fits naturally into many Go web stacks and routers. It is a focused utility for teams that need reliable CORS handling without adopting a larger framework. -

eBPF
ebpf-go is a pure-Go library to read, modify and load eBPF programs
Package ebpf is a toolkit for working with eBPF programs. eBPF programs are small snippets of code which are executed directly in a VM in the Linux kernel, which makes them very fast and flexible. Many Linux subsystems now accept eBPF programs. This makes it possible to implement highly application-specific logic inside the kernel, without having to modify the actual kernel itself. This package is designed for long-running processes which want to use eBPF to implement part of their application logic. It has no run-time dependencies outside of the library and the Linux kernel itself. eBPF code should be compiled ahead of time using clang, and shipped with your application as any other resource. Use the link subpackage to attach a loaded program to a hook in the kernel. Note that losing all references to Map and Program resources will cause their underlying file descriptors to be closed, potentially removing those objects from the kernel.
