Pre-event 16-red-LED Simple Add-On with a maker-stated fundraiser context
caelyb's live Uberflux listing describes the #NOICE Simple Add-On as designed for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, eight sold, and 92 remaining, with BadgeLife Village, LineCon, and Queercon Mixer drop labels plus post-DEF-CON CONUS shipping. The listing names sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs, a tactile effect button, persistent last-effect memory, and a stated 2.7–3.7 V input range. It says the board has several fast and slow flashing, heartbeat, and breathing/fade effects, includes a lobster-clasp lanyard, and frames the project around the maker's stated concerns about U.S. immigration enforcement. The maker also says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO record, not verification of the listing's policy statements or donation outcome, final manufacture, electrical safety, host compatibility, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.
Independent brass Coin M0 text-adventure and CircuitPython eChallengeCoin planned for DEF CON 34
AoSC's 2026 eChallengeCoin page describes a planned limited run of 40 brass electronic coins, framed as gifts for participants in its Choose Your Own Charity initiative rather than items for sale. It describes a Sara and the Missing Artifacts terminal text adventure, three groups of NeoPixels, a small speaker, one large touch pad for CircuitPython, no battery, 46-gram brass construction, and a Micro-USB serial connection; its form says a $100-or-greater youth-STEM-charity donation may receive a 2026 coin by U.S. mail or DEF CON pickup. The same page links the official CircuitPython Bradán Lane STUDIO Coin M0 profile as the build specifically for the eChallengeCoin. That profile identifies an ATSAMD21G1A, 4 MB flash, three RGB-NeoPixel groups, three capacitive touch pads, a speaker, and native USB-C. The linked primary sources therefore document a real planned independent DEF CON 34 electronic artifact while also disagreeing about USB connector type and touch-pad count; this record preserves the conflict rather than resolving it. They do not establish final manufactured-unit parity, confirmed donations or delivery, charity/tax treatment, official DEF CON issuance or admission, game-source licensing, or reusable-image rights.
Pre-event independent BENDER contest badge with activation pending
AND!XOR's source-backed DC34 5N4CK3Y project is an independent DEF CON BadgeLife contest badge with limited philanthropy units and a stated free-badge distribution route through challenges, contests, events, and other convention activity. Its official product page says BENDER hacking challenges and same-day activation instructions are scheduled for the event, but does not yet disclose the board or firmware implementation. It is a pre-event independent record, not the official DEF CON 34 Human badge.
Officially announced pre-event volunteer identity artifact
Adversary Village's official DEF CON 34 volunteer notice lists Adversary Village badges among the benefits for selected volunteers and explicitly says those badges do not give access to the con. The organizer's main event page confirms the August 7-9 Las Vegas Convention Center programme. This source-backed record models a planned volunteer identity artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or handoff.
Planned winnable CTF badge with an NFC game claim
The public DEF CON 34 BadgeLife roster contains a new listing submitted as Lockheed Martin - Aeronautics Cyber Range (ACR) for a badge titled SR-71. The named team says the badge is only winnable through a CTF it plans to host at its Aerospace Village booth and on its Discord, and describes a TCG-type card-collection game using NFC peer-to-peer and reader modes. That is concrete first-hand pre-event artifact evidence, while Aerospace Village's official page independently establishes the DEF CON 34 context; neither source publishes the badge's physical construction, NFC-hardware placement, or final distribution.
Completed Nairobi summit registration identity-artifact record
AfricaHackOn’s official Cybersecurity Summit 2026 schedule told attendees at the August 27 registration and welcome to ‘grab your badge & coffee,’ while the organizer’s post-event update confirms the August 27-29 summit concluded. Together, they support a completed-event registration identity-artifact reference, not a documented badge handoff, electronic badge, or specified physical credential.
Independent RP2040-Zero firmware project; physical build and event handoff unverified
MadmanTimmy3241's public repository describes itself as DEF CON 34 'Agency' SAO badge firmware for a Waveshare RP2040-Zero, and its commit-pinned source header calls the sketch DEF CON 34 "Agency" badge - V2. The public Arduino/C++ tree contains current display, scrolling, button, switch, buzzer, and infrared source paths, while dated first-person commit messages report staged local hardware smoke, display, input, and buzzer testing. The source header simultaneously says handshake, infrared, and logging logic is not wired up yet. This is sufficient to retain a distinct, independent pre-event event-labelled firmware-project record, not proof of a completed board, an event badge run, a compatible SAO, a delivered unit, DEF CON authorization, admission use, or a reusable image.
Current $60 ATtiny1616 BadgeLife wand; DC34 handoff and final-unit parity unverified
Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing identifies Agency Wand as an independently offered DEF CON 34 iteration of a wand-shaped badge first made for HackSpaceCon 2025. The current listing shows a $60 price, 19 remaining, 11 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It names an ATtiny1616, five reverse-mounted addressable LEDs, ambient/setup LEDs, two buttons, a CR2032, and exposed UART pins, while explicitly saying specifications and functionality may vary as fabrication and development continue. TrueControl's public documentation describes this as the second Wand iteration and publishes more DC34 hardware/firmware context, including a clearly labelled REV1 hardware-issue section. The sources support a distinct pre-event electronic badge record, not completed manufacture or handoff, DEF CON issuance or admission function, final stock/payment status, a universally safe device, final firmware parity, or reusable marketplace/repository images.
Swiss ESP blinking attendee badge with SAO invitation
A source-backed Area41 2026 attendee electronic-badge record. The official event page said each attendee would receive an ESP-based blinking electronic badge and invited badge owners to bring Shitty Add-Ons (SAOs). The organizer's post-event recap identifies Technische Fachschule Bern as the badge designer and assembler, while the school's own update says it developed and manufactured the hardware; the recap also reports attendees soldered more than 300 SAO badge extensions.
Alex Glow's MIT-licensed hardware-experimentation event PCB badge
Alex Glow's public repository describes this as an official PCB-badge commission for Avnet's FAE Institute 2026, and its linked Hackster project calls it a cyber-gem and platform for hardware experimentation. The commit-pinned source archive contains KiCad 9 board files, Gerber outputs, custom footprint libraries, and front/back repository rasters. Public vendor updates identify the July Phoenix FAE Institute's hands-on technical-training context. Together these sources establish a real event-specific hardware design, but not participant-wide issuance, a final manufactured configuration, a source-to-unit mapping, or a delivery ledger.
Post-event South Australian attendee badge and lanyard support record
BSides Adelaide 2026 is represented here as a post-event identity/lanyard badge record: the CFP, current sponsorship page, and Humanitix ticketing establish the July 27-28, 2026 Amora Hotel Adelaide edition, while the sponsor brief lists printing, lanyards, and badges as supporter-fundable event costs.
Interactive ESP32 conference badge with screen, controls, badge-to-badge comms, and SAO support
BSides Ballarat 2026's public event page documents an Underground interactive conference badge designed and produced by Firnsy at Ballarat Hackerspace, with ESP32 processing, a screen, controls, badge-to-badge communication, SAO support, and a limited BSides SAO add-on; a public maker writeup also documents a third-party WS2812B Simple Add-On for the badge. In a March 2026 post-event update, an organizer reported that the conference badge contained 20 puzzles and that its full source code had been released.
Post-event 555/74LS clock-generator badge with MIT source release
BSides Brisbane 2026's official prospectus offered electronic badge design/build for 500 delegates, Humanitix marked the July 4 event passed while listing conference-badge and VIP special-badge pickup, and public event updates named BLARGE as the electronic-badge supporter. Six days after the event, the `bsidesbrisbane/badge-2026` repository publicly documented the actual 2026 Clock Module: a photographed purple BSides Brisbane board in a 3D-printed case, a simple manually controllable clock generator made from 555 timers and 74LS-series logic, with committed Gerbers, BOM/CPL production data, an STL case file, and an MIT license.
Pre-event Canberra electronic-badge and speaker-credential record
BSides Canberra 2026 is represented as a planned/pre-event record because its public Humanitix ticketing page says general and student entry include a t-shirt and electronic badge, while the official CFP says accepted talks or events receive a speaker/event-host badge.
Planned Early Bird ticket-tier conference token
A conservative United Kingdom BSides Cheltenham 2026 conference-token record from the organizer's Early Bird ticket package, which promises an exclusive Limited Edition BSides Cheltenham 2026 Challenge Coin alongside entry, afterparty access, a t-shirt, and a swag bag. The Early Bird tier is shown as sold out before the October event.
Ticket-included Indian conference identity artifact
A conservative Indian BSides Chennai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's ticket page, which listed an Event Badge among the Last Bird ticket inclusions. The official schedule places the event on May 30 at Turyaa Hotel OMR in Chennai; its current ticket page remains a pre-event sales snapshot rather than proof of handoff.
Iowa CH585 RISC-V NFC badge with village-collection CTF
An official BSides Des Moines 2026 badge documented by the iot-pwn bsidesdsm26 repository as a WCH CH585 RISC-V board with an integrated ISO 14443A NFC reader, four SK6812 RGBW LEDs, a main control button, audio, and a three-layer CTF with two static flags, an eight-tag village-collection challenge, and a hash-based unlock, for the June 13, 2026 edition in Ankeny, Iowa.
Irish STM32 touch-and-sound electronic conference badge
A source-backed BSides Dublin 2026 Harp Badge: the organizer-owned public repository preserves firmware, a hardware reference, production files, and a post-event update path for the May 23 Trinity College conference.
Optional organizer e-badge ticket add-on paired with a distinct 2026 source archive
BSides Fort Wayne's organizer ticket page offered a $30 optional e-badge add-on for the June 6, 2026 conference. The public BSidesFW2026Badge repository has distinct June 2026 activity, including a dedicated STLs/2026 enclosure set and default badge data changed to 2026, together with MicroPython source and inherited V4 technical documentation. The evidence links a real optional e-badge offer to a 2026 source archive without claiming a confirmed sale, physical receipt, firmware deployment, or exact final hardware configuration.
Planned general-admission conference identity artifact
BSides Kraków's official 2026 ticket page lists an Exclusive badge with its free General Admission and AGH Student passes. The agenda says attendees check in and get a badge, bag, and available gadgets, but neither source identifies material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC, electronic form, technical behavior, production, or actual pickup/delivery.
Planned donation-pass conference identity artifact
BSides Kraków's official 2026 ticket page lists an Exclusive donator badge with its 1 zł Donation pass, unlike the Exclusive badge listed for free General Admission and AGH Student passes. The source establishes a separately named planned tier artifact only; it does not establish whether its physical or technical form differs from the general badge, nor its material, artwork, electronics, allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
SolaSec hackable electronic Kristiansand shield badge
BSides Kristiansand 2026 issued a custom hackable electronic badge shaped as the Kristiansand city shield. The official BSides Kristiansand article identifies SolaSec as its creator, and a published post-event account says every attendee received a hardware badge designed specifically for this event by Caleb Davis. The official ticket listing marks the June 5 Noroff conference as ended.
Current capacity-managed conference admission badge
BSides Las Vegas's official 2026 registration and ticketing sources call this a Participant Badge required for general conference access. The official registration page documents on-site pickup and separate queues for different badge types, while the ticketing page says a participant badge is required separately for Training Ground classes. It is recorded as a current identity/access artifact, not an electronic badge.
UK ATtiny814 LED owl with EEPROM-gated game unlocks
An official UK BSides Leeds 2026 badge documented by the punk-security repository as an ATtiny814 Artie the Owl board with eighteen SK6812 addressable RGB side-emitting LEDs, six capacitive touch pads, two CR2032 coin cells, and three single-player games whose one-byte EEPROM unlock gates hidden bonus LED animations, for the June 13, 2026 seventh edition at Cloth Hall Court in Leeds.
Planned Portuguese Security BSides electronic badge; technical details pending
BSides Lisbon's current official 2026 About page says the October 29-30 conference will have talks, networking, an electronic badge, and a CTF. The official home and location page place the planned event at Auditório Prof. Simões dos Santos in Lisbon, and the current team page lists Pedro Umbelino under Badge. This is a source-backed planned electronic-badge programme, not evidence of a completed board, technical implementation, or badge-linked CTF.
Interactive hackable lighthouse attendee badge with a pulsing beacon
BSides Maine's official Bluesky account called its 2026 badge electronic, described it as a puzzle, and revealed the main attendee badge as a hackable lighthouse with a pulsing beacon. The official agenda says attendees collected conference badges and materials at registration, and its closing description refers to whether anyone solved the badge. This completed-event record therefore documents a real electronic attendee badge and its stated puzzle role without supplying unannounced technical details.
Cremorne participant badge and lanyard credential
BSides Melbourne 2026 is represented by the official 2026 event page and sponsorship package, which document the May 15-17 Seek HQ event and a lanyard sponsorship item whose lanyards hang participant badges and include the badge for about 600 items.
Planned Indian Security BSides identity artifact
A conservative planned Indian BSides Mumbai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's provisional October 3 programme, which schedules badge pickup during morning registration and breakfast. The organizer's pass page identifies admissions and goodies but does not describe a badge entitlement or the credential's form.
Custom PCB badge with pre-sale allocation; electronics undocumented
BSides NOLA's 2026 event listing advertised a custom PCB badge from Fox Pick and a pre-sale package with a guaranteed PCB badge. A post-event attendee account describes leaving with a Rougarou circuit-board badge, confirming a physical board artifact while leaving the badge's components, behavior, and final allocation unresolved.
Attendee badge-package non-electronic challenge coin
Official BSides Nashville 2026 event information says each attendee badge included a BSides Nashville 2026 challenge coin. The organizer's public feed later re-shared an attendee note about receiving coins. This record models the source-backed coin as a physical, non-electronic badge-package companion artifact; it does not use an Electronic Badge Sponsor line as proof that a 2026 electronic board existed.
Organizer-published four-LED KiCad badge design for the upcoming September conference
BSides Orlando's official GitHub organization published 2026-badge, a public KiCad 10 schematic and PCB project, as the conference's current 2026 badge-design trail. The schematic identifies four 3 mm blink-labeled LEDs, a Keystone 3002 1x2032 cell-holder footprint, an MST22D18G2 125 power-switch component, and a 2x3 2.54 mm socket. The official event site sets the conference for September 26 at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida. This supports a planned organizer-published discrete LED badge design, not a released or allocated physical badge, attendee credential, finished BOM, final board revision, firmware, or image license.
Planned Illinois Security BSides badge with sponsor-logo surface
A conservative planned Illinois Security BSides conference-badge record from organizer sponsorship material. The BSides Peoria 2026 call for sponsors says organizers are locking in badge runs, and the official 2026 prospectus includes a Logo on Badge sponsorship benefit. The official home places the October 24 event at Bradley University, but these pre-event sources do not establish a final credential form, electronics, ticket inclusion, allocation, or delivery.
Planned Western Australian conference swag badge
BSides Perth 2026 is represented as a planned participant-badge record because the official event page says the weekend participant ticket includes conference swag: t-shirt, badge, and stickers.
Portuguese BSides electronic badge experience
A conservative post-event record for BSides Porto 2026's advertised electronic badge experience, anchored to the official site, agenda, ticketing page, and organizer completion recap rather than component-level badge documentation.
Indian Ocean BSides identity badge
A conservative BSides Reunion 2026 identity-artifact record for the participant badges and goodies distributed at the first documented Reunion Security BSides edition.
