NorthSec 2026 Badge
Official social electronic badge with soldering-village enhancement trail
NorthSec 2026's official registration page lists a new social electronic badge as an included item for conference, CTF, combo, and training ticket holders while supplies lasted. The official villages and community-schedule pages document badge pickup through attendees' nSec order QR codes, soldering-village activity where attendees could enhance their badge with blinking electronic parts, plus a badge museum showing NorthSec's electronic-badge history.

Official publisher of the NorthSec 2026 registration, villages, schedule, and team pages used for the conservative 2026 badge record.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It keeps the NorthSec Canadian lineage current after the public 2025 repository release while clearly separating official social-badge evidence from unrecovered hardware-source, firmware, and photo provenance.
Hardware
Public sources currently support only the high-level classification: an official social electronic badge, soldering-village badge enhancements, and blinking electronic add-on parts. This pass did not recover a public 2026 repository branch, schematic, BOM, firmware tree, component list, or rights-cleared badge photo.
Software & Apps
No public 2026 firmware repository, app guide, challenge source, or protocol documentation was recovered in this pass, so the record does not infer firmware features beyond the official social-electronic-badge wording.
Lore
NorthSec's 2026 registration page places the event at Bonsecours Market from May 9-17, 2026. The villages schedule also records schwag pickup for the t-shirt and badge, placing badge distribution in the attendee logistics flow rather than only in marketing copy.

Issues & Camp Impact
hardware-source caveat
note
Official sources prove an electronic social badge, QR-code badge pickup, and badge-enhancement activity, but post-event public repository checks still found no 2026 branch, 2026 tag, schematic, BOM, firmware tree, component list, final badge guide, or `badge-conf-2026` repository.
The catalogue avoids inventing microcontroller, radio, LED, display, firmware, or game details until primary hardware/software sources appear.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No NorthSec 2026 image is published locally because this pass did not verify a specific documentary photo or official raster render with complete source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing provenance.
The record stays visible and source-backed without using generated, placeholder, social-media, or uncleared event imagery.
