BSides Exeter 2025 Pirate Ship Badge
ATtiny402 pirate-ship badge with venue treasure-chest interaction
A completed BSides Exeter 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. Organizer ticketing and Security BSides sources establish the April 26 conference at The Forum, University of Exeter; Punk Security's own event listing identifies it as badge sponsor. Its post-event public repository identifies the pirate-ship badge, says it was given out at BSides Exeter, preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, badge/chest firmware, and chest-model material, and describes a venue treasure-chest interaction for unlocking additional LED modes. The archive names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, and 5050 NeoPixel for the badge. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, chest count or deployment, safety validation, player outcome, or reusable image provenance.

Authors & Credits
Punk Security
Punk Security's event listing identifies it as the 2025 BSides Exeter badge sponsor, and its public repository identifies the Pirate Ship Badge and preserves source material. This credit reflects the publicly named sponsor/maker/archive roles without assigning attendee allocation, companion deployment, safety, event-organizer authority, or image rights.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It fills an unseeded completed United Kingdom Security BSides artifact with organizer event confirmation, sponsor/maker evidence, public hardware-and-firmware material, and a source-backed venue game. The record preserves the interaction’s existence without converting it into a technical procedure or assuming every attendee received, used, or completed the same badge/chest path.
Hardware
The public maker archive describes the Pirate Ship Badge with an ATtiny402 microcontroller, one surface-mount button, CR2032 battery clip, and one 5050 NeoPixel addressable LED, plus EAGLE/EasyEDA/Gerber material. It also preserves a separately named ATtiny402 breakout-board source and 3D-model material for the venue treasure-chest context. The sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, power budget, electrical limits, production revision, chest count, field deployment, assembly quality, or safety outcome for every physical badge or companion unit.
Software & Apps
Punk Security's source archive preserves separate Arduino sketches for the badge and venue treasure-chest context. The record does not reproduce codes, connection, flashing, configuration, modification, docking, hardware-assembly, or interaction directions and does not claim a tagged release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, deployment inventory, support policy, or all-unit firmware parity.
Lore
BSides Exeter's organizer ticket page describes an information-security community conference at The Forum, University of Exeter on April 26, 2025. Punk Security's public archive calls the artifact a pirate-ship badge with treasure chests and says attendees could use the venue interaction to unlock new LED modes. That source-described game context is retained without publishing challenge values, treating it as a universal attendee experience, or asserting a final player or prize outcome.

Issues & Camp Impact
badge-sponsor relationship, allocation, and handoff boundary
note
The organizer sources establish the completed April 26 conference, Punk Security identifies itself as badge sponsor, and its archive says the Pirate Ship Badge was given out at BSides Exeter. The reviewed sources do not give a production count, ticket-tier eligibility, role allocation, recipient list, pickup/handoff record, replacement policy, or proof that all attendees received the badge.
The catalogue records a completed event-associated electronic badge without turning sponsorship or a broad maker distribution statement into a universal allocation claim.

final hardware, companion, power, and electrical-safety gap
note
The repository names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, and 5050 NeoPixel for the badge and preserves separately named companion source/model material, but reviewed sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, power budget, electrical limits, production revision, chest count, companion configuration, field placement, assembly quality, manufacturing test plan, certification, compliance, or safe service outcome.
The record preserves source-backed badge and companion context without treating public project material as a fabrication, repair, deployment, electrical-safety, or universal final-unit specification.

firmware release and operating-procedure boundary
note
The source tree includes separate badge and companion firmware sketches and external development references, but reviewed sources do not establish tagged final releases, signed binaries, source-to-unit mapping, build lockfiles, deployment inventory, update policy, recovery process, support lifecycle, or safe end-user operating, connection, docking, or reconfiguration procedure. No code, flashing, configuration, connection, or assembly directions are reproduced here.
The catalogue links source evidence without presenting it as a supported, reproducible, current, or safe modification or deployment workflow.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No BSides Exeter 2025 Pirate Ship Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.
The United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

source-license, visual-material, and branding scope boundary
note
GitHub metadata reports a null detected license for the repository, and no root LICENSE or COPYING file was recovered in the public tree. The public repo contains board images, artwork, and companion assets, but neither it nor event/sponsor pages pair a selected factual badge photo or official render with an image-specific reuse basis, named attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.
Source files and public project material are cited as evidence, but no local image, artwork, source file, or brand asset is copied or treated as licensed for reuse.

treasure-chest interaction, participant, and outcome boundary
note
The maker archive says attendees used venue treasure chests to unlock additional LED modes and preserves related source/model material. It does not publish a chest count, placement/deployment record, final companion configuration, connection details, challenge values, player count, participation data, score or completion data, participant identities, prize policy, official result, or ongoing service status. No interaction procedure is reproduced here.
The catalogue records the documented badge game without claiming universal participation, a completed CTF, any individual outcome, or a safe/reproducible operating procedure.
