Could you build this?

No Reverse engineering preview features of Microsoft's Windows Endpoint Security Platform (WESP) requires advanced Windows kernel, driver development, and OS internals expertise.

What it would actually take: Building and validating this requires reverse engineering undocumented NTOS kernel routines, Minifilter drivers, and user-mode security broker services using tools like WinDbg, IDA Pro, and specialized hypervisors. Specialized security research skills are mandatory to write test drivers, inspect ETW event telemetry, and understand undocumented security subsystem behaviors.
