 order to:
 
 * Replace as many useful identifiers as possible with short base64 hashes
-* Remove [module build information](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#ReadBuildInfo)
-* Strip filenames and unnecessary lines, to make position info less useful
-* Replace all string literals with AES encrypted literals
-
-It also wraps calls to the linker in order to:
-
-* Enforce the `-s` flag, to not include the symbol table
-* Enforce the `-w` flag, to not include DWARF debugging data
-
-Finally, the tool requires the use of the `-trimpath` build flag, to ensure the
-binary doesn't include paths from the current filesystem.

+* Strip filenames and shuffle position information
+* Obfuscate literals, if the `-literals` flag is given
