Evil-Go

• A malicious Golang Package

Introduction

Evil-Go is a sample Golang package designed to illustrate potentially malicious behavior, akin to "evil-pip" in Python. It demonstrates how a package could execute commands that may harm or compromise a system.

---

Functionality

The package includes the utilities module, which contains a function named ExecuteCommand. Depending on the operating system it detects, this function performs different actions:

• Windows: Initiates a new cmd.exe process to execute commands.
• Linux: Prints a message indicating command execution and then exits.
• Unsupported Operating Systems: Notifies that the system is not supported and then exits.

This package intentionally demonstrates unsafe practices and potential security risks associated with executing system commands based on system detection within a programming environment. It serves as a cautionary example rather than a recommended practice in software development.

Always exercise caution and adhere to best practices when handling command execution or system interactions in any software project.

Why I Made This?

• Educational Purposes
• Encourages reviewing source code before execution, promoting best practices.
