BSides Lisbon 2026 Electronic Badge

Planned Portuguese Security BSides electronic badge with a two-day badge competition; 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. A dedicated 2026 badge page now says the electronic badge comes with a badge competition across both days, was developed again by kripthor, and is sponsored by Bitsight, and asks attendees to bring a USB-C cable and a powerbank, plus a phone or laptop for the full experience. Further details are promised during the conference. This is a source-backed planned electronic-badge programme, not evidence of a completed board or its technical implementation.

Why It Mattered

It keeps the Portuguese BSides Lisbon lineage current while preserving the boundary between a clear organizer promise and a known badge build. The record makes a planned 2026 electronic badge discoverable without importing the 2025 badge's sponsor trail or treating concurrent CTF wording as a physical challenge specification.

Hardware

The official 2026 About and badge pages use the term electronic badge. The badge page lists a USB-C cable and a powerbank as essentials but does not describe the power design. Neither page identifies a PCB, microcontroller, display, LEDs, sensors, radio, NFC/RFID, battery, charging method, connectors, dimensions, artwork, lanyard, serial or credential technology, manufacturing partner, production quantity, or final physical variant. No 2025 component or design detail is used as a 2026 specification.

Software & Apps

No 2026 badge firmware, app, repository, schematic, Gerber, BOM, flashing guide, protocol, license, badge-specific game, or CTF challenge implementation was recovered. The About page separately announces a CTF, but does not say it is physical, badge-linked, or technically implemented on the badge. The badge page describes a separate badge competition running throughout both days, playable with a phone or laptop for the full experience, and says further details will be released during the conference.

Lore

The official BSidesLisbon home identifies a two-day October 29-30, 2026 conference in Lisbon. Its location page names Auditório Prof. Simões dos Santos at Faculdade de Medicina Dentária, Cidade Universitária, and its current team page places Pedro Umbelino in the Badge section. The conference remains upcoming at this catalogue update, so no final fabrication, attendee handoff, recipient scope, sponsor, or image claim is made.

Add-ons & Upgrades

Badge competition

The official badge page says a badge competition runs throughout both conference days, that little is needed to join beyond a USB-C cable and a powerbank, and that a phone or laptop gives the full experience. Rules, scoring, and prizes will be released during the conference.

Concurrent CTF programme

The current 2026 About page also lists a CTF. It does not say the CTF is a physical challenge, uses the electronic badge, or has a badge-specific implementation.

Compatibility: BSides Lisbon 2026 conference context only; not evidence of a badge-linked CTF or software feature.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

badge and CTF relationship boundary note

The About page lists an electronic badge and a CTF in the same programme sentence, but does not say the CTF is physical, badge-based, or implemented by the badge. The 2026 badge page instead describes its own badge competition across both days. No challenge mechanics, source, scores, data flow, prizes, or results are public for either.

The catalogue records the CTF and the badge competition as separate official programme elements without presenting the badge as a CTF device or asserting how the competition works.

badge-team role and allocation boundary note

The current team page lists Pedro Umbelino under Badge, and the badge page says kripthor developed the conference badge once again and names Bitsight as sponsor. The pages do not connect the two names, and none identifies hardware, firmware, manufacturing, security review, support, licensing, or the final recipient scope.

The team listing, the kripthor development credit, and the sponsor are recorded separately without claiming who built which part or which attendees receive the badge.

hardware and software archive gap note

The official 2026 programme names an electronic badge but publishes no PCB, component list, controller, display, radio, power system, schematic, Gerber, BOM, firmware, app, source repository, flashing workflow, protocol, security model, or software license.

The catalogue does not turn the electronic-badge wording into assumed hardware, source availability, interaction behavior, or security claims.

missing rights-cleared image note

No BSides Lisbon 2026 badge image is published because the current official event, About, location, and team pages do not pair a specific factual badge image with a reusable licence or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing record.

The planned Portugal record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, team-photo assets, ticketing media, screenshots, social-media images, or generated approximations.

planned production and fulfillment gap note

The official 2026 About page advertises an electronic badge, but the event has not yet occurred. No reviewed source confirms final fabrication, attendee eligibility, quantity, sales/ticket tier, pickup, handoff, shipping, replacements, variants, or fulfilled distribution.

The entry preserves a concrete planned event promise without representing it as a completed badge build or universal attendee delivery.
