Could you build this?
No Building cross-platform userland USB wireless drivers capable of raw frame injection and low-level 802.11 auditing requires specialized RF and kernel/driver engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires C or Rust interfacing directly with raw USB endpoints via libusb, implementing custom userland device firmware wrappers for common Wi-Fi chipsets. The core challenge is handling 802.11 monitor mode, packet injection, and timing-sensitive protocol state machines across three operating systems without relying on native OS Wi-Fi stacks. This requires low-level systems programming, USB protocol reverse engineering, and deep RF networking expertise.
