Could you build this?

No Exploiting embedded router firmware via command injection to gain persistent root SSH requires hardware reverse engineering and vulnerability research.

What it would actually take: Requires embedded firmware analysis, MIPS/ARM binary reverse engineering with Ghidra/IDA, finding web server (WCGI) memory/command execution vulnerabilities, and creating persistent init/daemon modifications on proprietary router hardware.
