Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The official badge page documents a BLE padlock interaction as one of two badge challenges.
Badge context
Official dedicated badge page documenting the ESP32-C6 electronic badge, the Badge3000 WiFi access point, the I2C OLED, and the BLE padlock and one-time-password challenges.
Official THcon source for the May 5-6, 2026 tenth edition talks at the Marthe Condat auditorium, Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse, with the on-site CTF on May 7 at ENSEEIHT.
Virtualabs attendee teardown documenting the received board's ESP32-C6-WROOM-1, SSD1306 OLED, WS2812 LED, ATC24C04 EEPROM, SAO connector, battery/TP4056 path, CH340C serial bridge, and analyzed BLE color-propagation behavior. It is independent artifact analysis, not an official source release or a reusable-image grant.
Source trail
Primary official source for the ESP32-C6 microcontroller, Badge3000 WiFi AP, I2C OLED at 0x3C, and the BLE padlock and one-time-password badge challenges.
Primary official source for the tenth Toulouse Hacking Convention dates, venue, and French security-conference context.
A May 13, 2026 first-hand attendee hardware and firmware analysis of a badge distributed by staff at THcon. It corroborates the artifact-level component inventory and BLE color-propagation behavior, while not constituting an official firmware, hardware-design, release, or image-reuse source.
