HackThePlanet SAO (DEF CON 34)
Pre-event 555-timer analog Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34
HogFillet's live Uberflux listing calls this the HackThePlanet SAO for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $24 and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23. A public DEF CON 34 maker self-submission by FakeBobby / HogFillet calls the same linked product HTP Graffiti and gives the same $24 price; the catalogue treats that exact product-URL match as a source-backed alternate listing name, not a second board. The maker describes a 555 timer clocking a ten-bit ripple counter whose outputs drive eight LEDs through the board's graffiti art, with an onboard trimmer controlling the flash rate. It explicitly says the board has no firmware and no I2C handshake, and says a separate button can be connected to the odd or even GPIO line of the DEF CON badge's SAO header. The listing announces Friday and Saturday Badge Life Booth pickup slots, with mailing or refund offered if a stated drop is missed. This is source-backed evidence for a pre-event independent analog SAO, not proof of final delivery, exact components or circuit values, host behavior, electrical safety, optical safety, conference authorization, admission, or reusable-image rights.

Why It Mattered
This entry is deliberately modest and useful: it captures a current non-firmware Simple Add-On that treats analog timing, counter logic, lights, and host GPIO as the whole interaction. The record avoids inflating a playful description into a hardware reverse-engineering result, and keeps the maker's own uncertainty about host-specific GPIO effects in view. It is also a reminder that not every electronic badge artifact needs an MCU, radio, app, or source repository to be a real documented object.
Hardware
The product page identifies a 555 timer, ten-bit ripple counter, eight LEDs, an adjustable timing trimmer, and a button wired so the maker says it can be shorted to either the odd or even GPIO line of a DEF CON badge SAO header. It does not name the timer or counter variants, resistor/capacitor values, LED colour/current limits, supply-voltage range, power draw, connector orientation, GPIO electrical model, debounce circuit, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, dimensions, enclosure, assembly process, host-pin test results, safety analysis, or final manufacturing revision. The source itself says the effect of the button depends on the connected host, so the record does not claim a specific outcome on the official badge or any other badge.
Software & Apps
HogFillet explicitly describes the SAO as having no firmware and no I2C handshake. No reviewed source supplies a schematic, circuit explanation, host-side example, GPIO pin map, board revision, test procedure, software archive, or license. Its LED timing and button behavior are therefore recorded as maker-described analog hardware behavior rather than an undocumented firmware surface.
Lore
The maker labels the listing a DEF CON 34 Badge drop and announces in-person pickup at two stated Badge Life Booth times, while also offering mailing or a refund for a missed drop. Those are seller-published pre-event acquisition terms, not evidence of completed stock, handoff, shipment, refund, venue permission, DEF CON organizer status, conference admission, or an official conference credential.

first-party product description
555 timer, ten-bit counter, LED, and trimmer claim
HogFillet describes a 555 timer clocking a ten-bit ripple counter, eight counter outputs driving eight LEDs, and an onboard trimmer controlling the timing rate. The source does not name component variants or values, flash-rate range, LED current, supply limits, power draw, electrical protection, schematic, BOM, PCB files, or final unit test results.

host-dependent behavior explicitly stated
Odd/even GPIO button interaction claim
The listing says a button can be shorted to the odd or even GPIO of the DEF CON badge SAO header and that the outcome depends on the attached badge. It also explicitly says the SAO has no firmware and no I2C handshake. No source publishes the exact host pin map, circuitry, switch behavior, voltage/current limits, or a tested result on a particular badge.

$24 / 19-sold / 23-listed-total Badge Life Booth pickup snapshot
The live product page lists $24 and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23, plus two stated DEF CON 34 Badge Life Booth pickup times. It says a missed drop can be mailed or refunded. These seller-published terms do not prove final inventory, payment, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, venue authorization, or event outcome.

Issues & Camp Impact
analog hardware, power, and GPIO electrical gap
note
The source names a 555 timer, ten-bit counter, LEDs, trimmer, and a host-GPIO button but does not publish a schematic, parts values, power/current limits, header orientation, pin map, shorting path, isolation/protection, debounce behavior, LED electrical characteristics, thermal data, host test matrix, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.
The record does not treat the product description as a circuit design, electrical integration guide, or safe compatibility guarantee.

documentation, circuit archive, and licensing gap
note
The maker intentionally says there is no firmware or I2C handshake, and the reviewed source does not provide a schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, assembly guide, component datasheets, circuit license, documentation license, test procedure, host example, or final revision record.
The entry is a narrow source-backed analog-artifact record, not a reproducible open-hardware or software dossier.

fast-flash photosensitivity and optical-safety boundary
note
The listing says the trimmer can move the LEDs from a slow pulse to a very fast strobe-like rate, but gives no defined frequency range, brightness/current values, user warning, photosensitivity guidance, accessibility option, test data, or optical-safety evidence.
The catalogue records the stated visual control without presenting fast flashing as safe, suitable for every viewer, or a substitute for appropriate user caution.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary
note
HogFillet labels the object for DEF CON 34 and announces Badge Life Booth pickup, but does not say it is issued by DEF CON, included with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, or has confirmed venue authorization.
The catalogue classifies HackThePlanet as an independent pre-event Simple Add-On, not an official conference credential, organizer-issued badge, or access item.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No HackThePlanet SAO image is published because the reviewed product page and public roster do not pair a selected factual badge image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying marketplace photos, video previews, screenshots, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

pre-event sale, pickup, mail, refund, and fulfillment boundary
note
The listing shows a $24 price and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23, announced Booth pickup times, and a mail-or-refund alternative for missed drops. It does not establish final run size, paid-order ledger, exact pickup allocation, attendee collection, shipment, delivery, refund completion, post-event support, or a completed distribution.
The catalogue preserves public offer terms without implying that all orders or drops were successfully fulfilled.
