Could you build this?

Partial A UI and a speed test are straightforward, but detecting router backdoors and monitoring per-app traffic require low-level network knowledge and privileged OS access.

What it would actually take: The UI, Wi-Fi channel scan, and speed test are buildable with standard OS APIs. Detecting TR-069, UPnP, and Telnet exposure, and attributing traffic to apps, needs packet capture, socket-to-process mapping, and router-specific fingerprinting. Doing that on Windows and macOS takes networking and security expertise, including privileged drivers or capture libraries.
