- Original 836x463 repository PNG photo downloaded from the public nsec/nsec-badge 2017 branch and published as the optimized WebP delivery asset without generated content or visual retouching. The repository LICENSE says everything is MIT unless otherwise stated, and the badge website embeds this image with alt text identifying it as two badges connected together. The published badge.gallery delivery file is an optimized WebP generated from the rights-cleared local derivative/source with metadata stripped, WebP quality 82, and a maximum side cap of 1600 pixels when the source is larger; upstream source URL, license, and attribution remain unchanged.

Team badge for NorthSec
The 2017 README credits Team badge for NorthSec.
SourceNorthSec
Official publisher of the NorthSec past-editions page and public nsec-badge repository tag for 2017.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It shows NorthSec iterating a public badge platform across consecutive years while using the badge as both attendee identity hardware and an event-specific firmware/challenge surface.
Hardware
The README documents nRF51822 and STM32F072CB ARM Cortex-M0 devices, OLED display, BLE, battery management, touch buttons, USB, red and green LEDs, two-AAA and USB power, SWD programming, STM32 USB DFU, and published schematic material.
Software & Apps
The repository documents Nordic SDK and S110 SoftDevice dependencies, STM32CUBE support, Makefile builds, SWD/DFU flashing, and event firmware images for the badge website and conference use.
Lore
NorthSec's official past-editions page describes 2017 as a growing edition with workshops and around 600 participants, and the public badge website embeds a repository photo showing two physical badges connected together.

archive scope caveat
note
The record summarizes the public README, firmware images, and schematic trail but does not model every website asset or firmware binary as a separate catalogue object.
The visible page stays concise while preserving the key source trail for deeper later archaeology.
