Could you build this?

No Porting Mandiant's CAPA malware capability analysis engine to C++ and integrating it with Windows Time Travel Debugging (TTD) traces requires low-level binary analysis and reverse-engineering expertise.

What it would actually take: The project requires C++20, integration with Microsoft's TTD trace replay engine / DbgEng APIs, and a custom port of CAPA's rule parser and abstract syntax tree matching logic over instruction streams. The hardest parts are decoding dynamic execution execution traces at line-rate, handling anti-analysis/packed binaries, and implementing efficient binary pattern/instruction matching without the Python runtime. This demands deep expertise in Windows internals, malware reverse engineering, and low-level disassembly frameworks.
