Could you build this?

Partial While the web dashboard and tool wrappers are easily vibe-coded, maintaining an attack surface management scanner across distributed worker fleets without triggering network bans is non-trivial.

What it would actually take: A production ASM platform requires a high-performance daemon in Go or Rust to coordinate raw socket SYN scans, asynchronous DNS resolvers, and vulnerability probing workers. The backend needs a distributed task queue (such as Celery or Temporal) managing IP rotation, rate limiting, and ISP abuse mitigation across disparate scanning nodes. Storing historical asset states requires a time-series graph database, alongside security domain experts to curate detection signatures and minimize false positives.
