BSides Canberra 2019 Nopia 1337 Badge

Australian electronic badge firmware and Hardware Hacking Village record

BSides Canberra 2019 is preserved as a source-backed electronic-badge record because the official ticketing page included an electronic badge, the Hardware Hacking Village page offered badge firmware reflashing and direct discussion with hardware badge makers, and the later official speaker export names the 2019 firmware line as Nopia 1337.

Why It Mattered

It keeps the Australian BSides Canberra lineage continuous while avoiding a false BUSSide year claim: the detailed BUSSide hardware record is now tied to 2018, and the 2019 entry is limited to what the 2019 sources prove.

Hardware

The ticket page says BSides Canberra 2019 general admission included an electronic badge, but this pass did not recover public 2019 schematics, BOM, PCB files, or a component list. The hardware field is intentionally narrow until a primary 2019 badge archive is found.

Software & Apps

The 2019 Hardware Hacking Village page documents badge firmware reflashing opportunities. A later BSides Canberra source trail also mentions Peter Rankin's Nopia 1337 badge firmware line, but this entry does not assign unverified BUSSide hardware details to the 2019 credential.

Lore

The 2019 Hardware Hacking Village offered badge firmware reflashing and direct discussion with the hardware badge makers, making the badge a workshop surface rather than only a pass. Peter Rankin's later BSides Canberra speaker bio says he developed badge firmware including the 2019 Nopia 1337.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail caveat note

The recovered 2019 sources prove an electronic badge and badge firmware reflashing activity, but not a public component list, schematic, firmware repository, board name, or distribution count.

The entry is now separated from the 2018 BUSSide record and keeps 2019 claims limited to what the official pages prove.

Confidence: official source but incomplete technical archive
Status: needs primary 2019 badge archive
Timeframe: 2019 badge archive pass
Source note: BSides Canberra 2019 tickets and Hardware Hacking Village page.

missing rights-cleared image note

No local BSides Canberra 2019 badge photo has been added because source image rights and exact board-variant attribution need more archive work.

The badge record publishes without imagery rather than presenting a generated or incorrectly matched board image.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy, BSides ticket page, and Hardware Hacking Village page.
