Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The project page and postmortem document a Rigado BMD-300 module based on Nordic nRF52 with ARM Cortex-M4F, 512 KB flash, 64 KB RAM, integrated antenna, Nordic S132 SoftDevice, TFT display, WS2812B LEDs, sensors, and microSD.
Badge context
Primary log documenting BLE terminal behavior through the AND!XOR Android app, Nordic nRF Toolbox compatibility, maintenance mode, scanning, connection, script buttons, and app-permission notes.
Secondary coverage corroborating the DC25 badge as a hackable BLE DEF CON 25 indie badge and pointing to the Hackaday.io project.
Primary log documenting the microSD card, Bring Your Own Bling workflow, RAW 16-bit 565 asset format, ffmpeg conversion command, and custom bling folder behavior.
Primary log describing the badge-to-badge BOTNET game, activation, badge-net repeating behavior, airplane-mode opt-out, services, firewall rules, exploits, XP, and points.
Hackaday.io file archive advertised by the project as VRML, SVG, and DXF models for badge accessories and paper/PLA mockups; not treated as full Gerber source.
Primary retrospective log for team expansion, design goals, BMD-300 selection, display/LED/regulator production context, S132 firmware base, activation code, bling, games, production quantities, and source-release caveats.
Project-owner Hackaday.io source for DEF CON 25 context, BMD-300/nRF52 hardware specs, TFT, LEDs, sensors, microSD, badge functions, team list, files, and project status.
Primary log documenting badge scripting, supported commands, graphics drawing APIs, GPIO read/write commands, button state commands, and examples.
Source trail
Primary project-owner source for hardware specs, DEF CON 25 dates/location, badge functions, team roster, project files, and the open hackable-badge framing.
Primary BLE/app source for AND!XOR Android terminal behavior, Nordic nRF Toolbox compatibility, maintenance mode, and BLE permission caveats.
Primary game-design source for the badge-only wireless BOTNET mechanic, player services, firewall/exploit rules, badge-net behavior, activation, and opt-out details.
Primary retrospective source for BMD-300/nRF52 choice, display, WS2812B LEDs, production quantities, regulator substitution, S132 firmware base, activation, games, app, and source-release caveats.
Secondary technical source corroborating the BLE indie-badge framing and Hackaday.io project evidence.
