  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

    Project mention: Empowering Caddy: User Friendliness with Case-Insensitive Caddyfiles | dev.to | 2023-11-25

    An interesting project that I recently contributed to is Caddy, a fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS, written in the language I'm currently exploring, Golang. My contribution and pull request address case-insensitive support to special prefixes in the Caddyfile, along with the ability to recognize files with a '.caddyfile' suffix, all inspired by a reported issue.

  • nps

    Project mention: Pi-hole in either free cloud or double NAT? | /r/pihole | 2022-12-16

    A quick google search of 内网穿透 yields me this repo which was recommended over frp for its simplicity to setup. You will need a VPS (free cloud is fine) that has a static public IP, download the NPS server on that VPS, configure it, change the default login (username: admin password: 123). then download the NPS client on your pi-hole device, configure it to forward ports you like (I think it by default forward port 80 and 443, remember to look at the conf).

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • Vegeta

    HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!

    Project mention: Deep-dive into Vegeta - HTTP load testing tool and library | dev.to | 2023-10-30

    To install vegeta, grab the right download url from https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta/releases/tag/v12.11.1 and download using the below command.

  • kratos

    Your ultimate Go microservices framework for the cloud-native era.

  • httprouter

    A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

    Project mention: Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup | dev.to | 2023-06-02

    Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

  • chi

    lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

    Project mention: newbie here looking for a framework | /r/golang | 2023-10-03

    Project mention: HTTP client using multiple proxies | /r/golang | 2023-02-18

    Are you looking to do proxy chaining? If so, something like https://github.com/snail007/goproxy may help. It's likely overkill for your situation, but it supports chaining.

    Project mention: Ask HN: What's the big deal with Go (Golang)? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-12

    I love it in the context of hacking actually. When working on HackTheBox machines or other CTFs you sometimes need to deploy tools onto the machine like these:

  • up

    Deploy infinitely scalable serverless apps, apis, and sites in seconds to AWS.

    Project mention: Streamline Your Serverless Development with These Top 10 Powerhouse Tools | dev.to | 2023-01-02

    🤯 High-performance PHP application server, process manager written in Go and powered with plugins

    Project mention: RoadRunner: High performance PHP app server, load balancer and process manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-08

    why link to the old URL when linking to its redirected one is less confusing?

  • sliver

    Adversary Emulation Framework

    Project mention: With VPN's such as Twin Gate and TailScale, why open ports to expose services to the internet? | /r/selfhosted | 2023-07-05

    IDK if you are too young to remember the fallout from Snowden, but the Kremlin threw out entire rooms computers and for a time used actual typewriters. Because those computers had, more or less, twingate connectors on them. That's a bit of a rich example, but you're essentially installing what sliver calls an implant, what meterpreter calls a payload, and what Cobalt Strike calls a beacon. It's cool if you want to, but there's no need when you can just open a port with the same technology a Fortune 50 does.

  • httpx

  • easegress

    A Cloud Native traffic orchestration system

    Project mention: Thoughts on new tool - easegress - 5k stars in 8 months | /r/kubernetes | 2023-03-03

    Since there is no discussion on reddit, wanted to get people's thoughts on a relatively new project easegress which looks to have gained a lot of stars. Seems interesting and something that can't easily be compared to any other individual tool since it combines a lot of features in one.

  • bombardier

    Fast cross-platform HTTP benchmarking tool written in Go

    Project mention: Discussion: Are we entering the golden age of hacking, where software written by language models that "looks correct" to the lazy human operator is used despite being full of vulnerabilities? | /r/hacking | 2023-03-22

    Why? There is a ready script for that https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier

  • script

    Making it easy to write shell-like scripts in Go

    Project mention: GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-21

    I use Go. You can run scripts with go run directly, and this package makes shell tasks easy: https://github.com/bitfield/script

    Project mention: How We Converted a GitHub Tool Into a General Purpose Webhook Proxy to Supercharge Our Integration Development | dev.to | 2023-04-21

    Tunneling services can be considered as a solution in some cases. Services like ngrok, frp, localtunnel and sish create a public endpoint that tunnels communication to your local endpoint via a tunnel client.
