Partial A basic process monitor is simple to build with system APIs, but detecting exploitation reliably requires security research, behavioral detection rules, and low-level OS telemetry. Vibe coding alone won't produce credible detection quality.
What it would actually take: A credible version would need kernel or system-level telemetry (such as Endpoint Security on macOS, ETW on Windows, or eBPF on Linux) plus detection logic built on real attack techniques. Effective rules come from threat-intelligence and exploit-analysis expertise, and they must be tested against real malware and exploits to limit false positives.
