I can confirm there's an issue with the UPX-compressed binary at https://github.com/corneliusweig/ketall/releases/download/v1.3.6/ketall-amd64-darwin.tar.gz

Big Sur 11.1 (Intel)
ketall installed via krew (itself installed via Homebrew)
Any invocation (standalone or via kubectl) immediately results in Killed: 9

After Googling for similar issues it seemed UPX could be the culprit.
Installed UPX 3.96, uncompressed ketall with upx -d ~/.krew/store/get-all/v1.3.6/get-all-amd64-darwin: it works
Recompressed with this UPX version upx -9 ~/.krew/store/get-all/v1.3.6/get-all-amd64-darwin: still working.

Sorry this does not work. I believe this might have something to do with upx/upx#222.
Have you tried if a build without upx compression works for you?

Thanks @renaudguerin I had the same issue and I was also wondering.

Had the same setup than you and was able to fix it with the upx command you provided.

Thank you very much!
