checkip VS gosec

I used checkip to find information about the IP address behind the URL:

You can use checkip to find out who is interacting with your system.

Checkip is a CLI tool and library that provides generic and security information about an IP address in a quick way.

OK :-)

I wanted to add it to checkip but I can't call it from command line:

Do you have an IP address, like from logs, that you have no idea what is it? You might find checkip helpful. It is a CLI tool and library that checks an IP address using various public services.

checkip is a CLI tool and library that checks an IP address using various public services.

You need to install it (basically just download the binary) and then to run it like checkip . Please see the project's documentation for more.

You can (and definitely should!) also use gosec.

The crypto source in Go is great, no complaints there. Lints like gosec even recommend using it when generating crypto entropy. Go did a good job here, and I expect Rust will do the same sometime after getrandom reaches 1.0 so the API questions are settled, plus whatever makes sense for the future-proofing the standard library needs.

i think there's https://github.com/securego/gosec linter

Various static analysis tools are available for the Go language, and existing static analysis tools can check general best practices. For example, gosec is a tool to check secure Go coding, and I use it myself. However, coding rules in software development are not only based on best practices, but can also be software- or team-specific. For example

What's the difference between this a https://github.com/securego/gosec?

A github actions workflow is provided to run go fmt, vet, test and gosec. An initial configuration for dependabot is also provided.

Besides what was mentioned, we use : staticcheck.io and https://github.com/securego/gosec

For application code, there are different SAST (Static Application Security Testing) tools like sonarqube, which provide vulnerability scanners for different languages, gosec for analyzing go code and detecting issues based on rules, linters, etc.
