Planned interactive hackable-badge competition for London
CyberThreat's official 2026 site and SANS registration page advertise an interactive hackable-badge challenge and a Hackable Badge Competition for the November London event. They establish a planned 2026 badge activity, not a released physical or electronic badge specification, attendee-wide issue, or completed handoff.
People
SANS publishes the CyberThreat 2026 event and registration page, which lists the planned hackable-badge activity. This is a host/publisher credit only, not a badge-design, manufacture, challenge-author, allocation, delivery, or image-reuse credit.
SourceIt keeps CyberThreat's active badge programme current without projecting the deeply documented 2024 Secure Impact AVR badge onto a future edition. The record preserves the official 2026 challenge commitment while making every unannounced artifact, allocation, and implementation detail explicit.
The 2026 sources call out hackable badges but do not identify a PCB, electronic or non-electronic form, controller, display, power source, connector, radio, sensor, circuit, component list, manufacturing run, schematic, BOM, Gerber, assembly guide, or physical badge count.
The 2026 sources advertise an interactive hackable-badge challenge or competition but publish no challenge rules, firmware, source code, binary, app, protocol, toolchain, flashing workflow, scoring model, safety guidance, testing boundary, or release licence.
SANS lists CyberThreat 2026 for November 16-17 at the Roundhouse in Camden, London and includes a Hackable Badge Competition in the in-person offering. CyberThreat's own site calls the activity an interactive hackable badge challenge. The historical 2024 Secure Impact badge and walkthroughs are retained as a separate record rather than treated as a 2026 design, supplier, challenge, or handoff commitment.
Source-backed hardware metadata
Structured technical signals seeded from public badge documentation, repositories, schematics, firmware notes, or event evidence. These fields are designed for filtering, API use, repair planning, preservation, and future Companion Gear matching.
SANS's official CyberThreat 2026 page says the programme features hackable badges and lists a Hackable Badge Competition, but does not identify the artifact's form or technical implementation.
Signal sourceLifecycle
CyberThreat's official site says delegates can attempt an interactive hackable badge challenge. That supports a planned badge-related activity but does not state the number or form of badges, who receives one, challenge rules, entry requirements, timing, scoring, prize terms, technical surface, safety boundary, or completion outcome.
SourceSANS lists a Hackable Badge Competition among the in-person CyberThreat 2026 inclusions. The page does not say whether that listing grants a physical badge, which registrants may participate, whether there are badge variants, or how the competition operates.
SourceOperational history
The catalogue preserves the 2024 technical dossier without silently carrying its components, creator, challenge count, software, or delivery model into the planned 2026 record.
The record does not turn a planned interactive challenge into an electronic specification, a reproducible workflow, or a safe operating instruction.
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.
The catalogue treats this as a source-backed planned badge challenge rather than a confirmed distributed 2026 conference artifact.
