Could you build this?

No IonCube is a proprietary PHP bytecode compiler/obfuscator; decoding it requires deep reverse engineering of PHP internals, Zend VM opcodes, and IonCube's proprietary encryption schemes.

What it would actually take: This requires patching custom PHP C source builds to hook into Zend opcode execution or writing low-level binary analysis tools (using IDA Pro, Ghidra, or custom disassemblers) to intercept and reconstruct ASTs from encrypted bytecode. It demands world-class reverse engineering expertise specifically focused on the closed-source IonCube loader.
