Why It Mattered

It extends the Israeli BSidesTLV badge lineage beyond the 2025 Infinity Glove record while keeping the 2026 entry pre-event and source-limited until final hardware, firmware, challenge, and image evidence is public.

Hardware

An electronic badge is part of the 2026 hardware CTF, per the official Hardware Village page, but this pass does not recover component names, PCB files, power details, board photos, schematics, BOM, firmware, or production notes.

Software & Apps

Hardware CTF activity happens around the badge, according to the source trail. No firmware repository, challenge binaries, writeups, app framework, protocol documentation, or final session material has been recovered yet.

Lore

The current 2026 home page places BSidesTLV 2026 on November 11 at Smolarz Auditorium, Tel Aviv University, under the Alice in AI Land theme. The Hardware Village page says the event's electronic badge hides CTF secrets, but also says the detailed schedule is still being soldered together, so the public record stays pre-event until shipped-badge evidence appears.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail gap note

The official source proves a planned electronic badge and hardware CTF framing, but this pass did not recover component lists, schematics, board files, firmware, production notes, or challenge-source archives.

The record preserves badge existence and planned CTF framing while avoiding unsupported component-level claims.

Confidence: source-backed but intentionally narrow
Status: needs public schematic or firmware archive
Timeframe: 2026 pre-event badge archive pass
Source note: BSidesTLV 2026 Hardware Village page.

missing rights-cleared image note

No local BSidesTLV 2026 badge image is published because the current official pages do not pair a specific badge image with explicit reuse rights, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.

The Israeli 2026 record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying page media, screenshots, or generated artwork.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and BSidesTLV 2026 source trail.

pre-event badge caveat note

Current official BSidesTLV pages place the 2026 conference on November 11, 2026, so the event has not happened yet as of this refresh; the Hardware Village page documents a Badge CTF Challenge but not shipped hardware.

The record should not claim shipped hardware, final challenge behavior, attendee distribution scope, or post-event outcomes until the event happens and artifact-level sources appear.

Confidence: official page but future event
Status: planned
Timeframe: pre-event recheck on 2026-07-07 before the November 11, 2026 event
Source note: BSidesTLV 2026 home and Hardware Village pages.
