Could you build this?

No Enabling arbitrary 802.11 frame injection requires reverse engineering Espressif's proprietary, closed-source Wi-Fi binary blobs and possessing deep wireless MAC-layer knowledge.

What it would actually take: Requires disassembling closed-source ESP-IDF precompiled archives (such as libnet80211.a) using Ghidra or IDA Pro to trace internal frame filtering and transmission logic. The developer must patch binary symbol visibility via GNU objcopy, override internal Wi-Fi TX buffer descriptors in C, and handle strict 802.11 MAC state machine constraints at the embedded hardware level.
