Could you build this?

No Implementing an AirDrop receiver on Linux/Asahi requires reverse-engineering proprietary Apple wireless protocols (AWDL, OWL, AirDrop TLS/HTTP handshakes) and deep low-level Wi-Fi driver interfacing.

What it would actually take: To build this, one needs a deep understanding of 802.11 Wi-Fi frames and Apple's proprietary AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) protocol, typically leveraging implementations like OpenDrop/OWL. The architecture requires a C/Rust daemon interfacing with raw packet sockets or specialized Wi-Fi monitor/action frame interfaces, coupled with TLS certificate validation and mDNS/Bonjour discovery. A solo vibe coder cannot synthesize these reverse-engineered, timing-sensitive wireless networking protocols.
