Could you build this?

No Extracting firmware from AWS cloud hardware requires physical hardware hacking tools, hardware security expertise, and specialized laboratory equipment.

What it would actually take: This requires physical access to target server components (like Nitro cards or server motherboards), tapping SPI/I2C/JTAG flash buses with hardware logic analyzers or programmers, desoldering flash chips, and reverse-engineering proprietary baseboard management controllers (BMC) or ASIC microcode.
