first-hand maker announcement
Exploitee.rs' signed public announcement says the team is bringing a new revision to DEF CON 34 and describes planned online availability and BadgeLife Village pickup. It is direct maker evidence for a proposed event association, not organizer authorization, completed sale, handoff, admission, or image-reuse permission.

official firmware-update status page
The official update page labels 2.7.26.pager as the latest DEF CON 34 firmware and exposes a browser-based update surface. It does not establish source-to-device parity, a reproducible build, safe update outcome, support commitment, or full release archive.

official maker project site
Primary Exploitee.rs source for the Hacker Pager's component, interface, wireless, software, physical-package, and open-source claims. It supports a documented independent electronic artifact, not DEF CON issuance, final production parity, safe use, or image reuse.

public device firmware fork
Exploitee.rs' public Meshtastic fork identifies modifications for Hacker Pager hardware. It supports a public firmware-source trail, not an audit of all inherited code/dependencies, a final 2026 image, default radio/data configuration, or a completed unit release.

public hardware design repository
The official electronics repository publishes KiCad, schematic PDF, and BOM sources under CERN-OHL-S-2.0. It is design-source evidence, not a final production, safety, performance, image-rights, or specific-2026-revision record.

public mechanical design repository
The companion case repository publishes case, button, acrylic-panel, and accessory source under CERN-OHL-S-2.0. It documents a modifiable mechanical-design trail, not a confirmed 2026 production configuration, material result, assembly quality, safe printing recommendation, or image-reuse permission.
