Velociraptor uses the latest Go toolchain to incorporate the latest security patches and updates. However, Golang has dropped support for unsupported operating systems at version 1.20:
This script allows building a version of Velociraptor using the last supported Go version 1.20. However, note the following caveats:
-
To build under this unsupported Go version we had to freeze dependencies. Therefore this build includes known buggy and unsupported dependencies.
-
This build may be insecure! since it includes unsupported dependencies.
-
We typically update to the latest version of Velociraptor but it may be that in future we disable some feature (VQL plugins) that can not be easily updated.
NOTE: Do not use this build in a general deployment! Only use it for deploying on deprecated, unsupported operating systems:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8, 8.1
As always, Windows XP is not supported.
