programme-described educational artifact
The preserved DEF CON 33 programme calls the Vulnerable ATM Badge the largest badge at the conference that year and says it simulates ATM attack surfaces in a physical form factor that can be carried with two hands. It does not provide an operating procedure, board or module inventory, safety assessment, or proof of a final attendee-owned unit.
