Could you build this?

No It involves reverse-engineered Apple proprietary protocols (Grappa handshake) and low-level firmware flashing on Windows for hardware communication.

What it would actually take: Building this requires binary reverse engineering of Apple's proprietary Grappa cryptographic handshake routines and Windows hardware driver / USB-serial communication for card flashing. It demands deep systems programming expertise in Windows APIs, cryptographic security analysis, and embedded hardware flashing protocols.
