Could you build this?
Partial Building a Windows port of an Apple AirDrop/AirCard style wireless sharing tool requires reverse-engineering Apple's proprietary Wi-Fi Direct, AWDL, and BLE protocol handshakes.
What it would actually take: The stack requires C++ or C# with low-level WinPCAP/Npcap or custom NDIS Wi-Fi driver hooks to handle Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) frames, alongside Bluetooth LE advertisement scanners and cryptographic handshakes (SRP, Curve25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305). The hard part is managing physical Wi-Fi channel switching on standard Windows hardware to simulate Apple's proprietary peer-to-peer Wi-Fi action frames.
