Open Source Go Security Software for Linux

BerserkArch is a security-focused, performance-tuned Linux operating system (OS) based on Arch Linux, designed for developers, hackers, and technical users. A bleeding-edge, security-centric Arch-based Linux distribution crafted for hackers, developers, and nerds alike. Following the Arch Linux philosophy, it is designed to be highly customizable, allowing users to build their environment with only the components they need, rather than having a lot of pre-installed software like some other security distributions (e.g., Kali Linux). As an Arch-based distribution, it benefits from the rolling release model, providing users with the latest software versions and kernel updates. BerserkArch is a dist "designed to make you powerful" for specific use cases like reverse-engineering binaries and automating exploits, rather than being an easy-to-use distribution for general beginners.

BoringSSL is a Google-maintained fork of OpenSSL, designed specifically to meet the security, performance, and maintainability needs of Google’s infrastructure and products. While fully open source, BoringSSL is not intended for general public use — it serves as a streamlined, heavily modified SSL/TLS and cryptography library optimized for Google’s internal ecosystem, including Chrome/Chromium, Android, and other Google services. The project prioritizes security, simplicity, and maintainability over backward compatibility. Unlike OpenSSL, BoringSSL provides no guarantee of stable APIs or ABIs, meaning third-party projects depending on it may frequently break. Google products that use BoringSSL ship their own copies and update them as needed, enabling faster iteration without legacy constraints. BoringSSL includes comprehensive API documentation, build instructions, and guidance for porting code from OpenSSL.
