There was one called "gobot" going around a while ago. Open source and I think there were updated versions.

There was also someone who posted their golang botnet project more recently here on HF but has since pulled the plug and got himself banned etc. I forget what he called it.

So yeah it can be used quite successfully. But for the long term, I personally wouldn't choose to write any malware in it.

Cool, thanks for answer.
There are various golang botnets that are open source that are quite good.
Golang is good solution 🙂
I personally wouldn't recommend learning GoLang specifically for malware. There is plenty better various streamlined languages to choose from.
