Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.
A utility to extract go build info information fro go executables and shared libraries
A python package that extracts go build information from go based executables, go.mod and go.sum files and shared libraries. The package leverages the golang debug/buildinfo and golang.org/x/mod/modfile packages to extract the information hence relies on a shared library to do this work.
Example usage
from pygobuildinfo import get_go_build_info, get_go_mod, get_go_sum
import json
def test_get_info(file):
res = get_go_build_info(file)
print(json.dumps(res, indent=4))
def test_go_mod(file):
res = get_go_mod(file)
print(json.dumps(res,indent=4))
def test_go_sum(file):
res = get_go_sum(file)
print(json.dumps(res,indent=4))
test_get_info("foo/bar")
test_get_info("/usr/bin/du")
test_get_info("/Users/auser/go/src/spire/support/oidc-discovery-provider/oidc-discovery-provider.elf")
test_get_info("/Users/auser/go/src/spire/support/oidc-discovery-provider/oidc-discovery-provider.exe")
test_get_info("/Users/auser/go/src/spire/support/oidc-discovery-provider/oidc-discovery-provider")
test_get_info("/Users/auser/go/pygobuildinfo/pybuildInfo/_pyGoBuildinfo.cpython-39-darwin.so")
test_go_mod("/Users/auser/go/src/pygobuildInfo/go.mod")
test_go_sum("/Users/auser/go/src/pygobuildInfo/go.sum")
The result returned is always a dict object for errors the dictionary returned contains a key; "error" like;
{
"error": "path error:foo/bar"
}
or
{
"error": "/usr/bin/du: could not read Go build info from /usr/bin/du: unrecognized file format"
}
on success a python dict of the buildinfo struct is returned

For go_sum and go_mod the structure will be similar with less info a go.sum does not know the module its part of nor go versions so just has dependencies, versions and hashes. For a go.mod it may have go version will have module path and dependencies but no hashes.
