first-person public pre-event maker post
Public r/Defcon post by u/ProfessionalPea2218 saying the author designed and hand-soldered badge PCBs to help launch Cyb3rBytes404, calls the batch small and not for sale, and plans random giveaways throughout ‘the con.’ It is a first-person pre-event claim, not proof of legal identity, nonprofit status, repository ownership, final unit configuration, completed distribution, DEF CON authorization, or image-reuse permission.

immutable hardware and educational-source note
Commit-pinned README, last visibly updated July 28, 2026, naming an RP2040, MPU-6050 three-axis gyroscope/accelerometer module, thirty WS2812 RGB LEDs, and MicroPython source material. It does not establish a complete electronic design, a production-unit configuration, final event firmware, or a safe operating procedure.

official event-context page
DEF CON's official registration page supplies the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas Convention Center context. It does not name Cyb3rBytes404, endorse the project, authorize a giveaway, or make this independent badge a conference credential.

public coding-camp project repository
The public repository calls itself the official repository for the Cyb3rBytes404 cyber coding camp and describes a custom RP2040 cyber badge plus MicroPython teaching material. It is repository-publisher evidence, not a demonstrated link to the Reddit account, a completed physical run, an official DEF CON project, or a reuse grant.

Primary public repository calling itself the official source for the Cyb3rBytes404 cyber coding camp and describing a custom RP2040 cyber badge. Its shared project name provides relevant source context but does not prove its account belongs to the maker-post author, that code corresponds to a physical giveaway unit, or that project media/code is reusable.
