Reverse stripped Go and Rust binaries — recover symbols from pclntab/moduledata and panic metadata, then navigate language-specific idioms. Load when a stripped ELF/PE/Mach-O shows Go or Rust runtime residue. Signals: "go.buildid", "runtime.main" / "main.main", "panic:" or "rust_begin_unwind" strings, /rustc/ or src/*.rs paths, huge static binary with no symbols, Go malware, a Rust release build.

# Go / Rust binary reversing
## When it applies
You have a stripped binary in scope (`tradecraft-scope-roe`, `scope.txt`) and triage
(`reverse-eng-binary-triage`) shows Go or Rust residue — a Go malware sample, a Rust release
build, a Go-compiled red-team tool. Generic decompilation drowns you in runtime code; these
languages carry enough metadata to rebuild the symbol map first.
## Why it works
Both toolchains ship binaries that are mostly runtime, but both embed rich metadata: Go keeps the
pclntab (function names, file:line, type info) even when the symbol table is stripped, and Rust
leaks panic strings with full source paths. Recovering that metadata turns an anonymous blob back
into named functions, and the runtime residue itself fingerprints the language and version.
