- hbn 4y agoYeah I ran into this a couple years ago when I tried to distribute Windows binaries for a utility program I wrote. I seem to recall the issue being described in that since every Go binary comes pre-packaged with the Go runtime, all software -- including malware written in Go -- will have similar structure, and some common code. I wasn't planning on monetizing the utility and I didn't expect a lot of people to use it so I just posted it with a disclaimer to ignore Windows Defender, and the source code was available on Github.
