source-described badge interaction
The report says the electronic badge was hackable, had already been hacked by at least three people during the CTF, and contained hidden Easter eggs and challenges integral to that competition. It does not describe the challenge design, interfaces, exploitation path, firmware, scoring, data handling, or any completed participant outcome.

Organizer-controlled PWNEDCR home reviewed on 2026-08-04. It is currently the PWNEDCR 0x9 site, so it establishes live series continuity only and does not preserve a historical 0x08 event page, badge archive, maker credit, technical release, allocation record, or image-reuse basis.

named post-event account
Fluid Attacks' named post-event account is the recovered artifact-level source for PWNEDCR 0x08. It documents the 2025 event context, a physical electronic badge that attendees hacked through the CTF, and hidden Easter eggs/challenges. It publishes no technical archive or badge-maker credit; its generic Unsplash skull visual is not a factual badge photo or reusable-image basis.
