Why It Mattered

It adds France to the European badgelife map and shows that electronic hacker-conference badges were already part of the Nuit du Hack culture before later collector-badge challenges.

Hardware

Public attendee coverage describes the object as a fully electronic badge with hidden secrets; the current dossier keeps component-level claims conservative until the linked Tix Le Geek tutorial pages or archived mirrors are recovered in full.

Software & Apps

Korben's report links a reverse-engineering tutorial and a programming sequel using avrdude, avr-gcc, and C compilation, but this first pass does not claim firmware internals beyond that public source trail.

Lore

The attendee report jokes that flying with the suspicious-looking electronic badge could have invited awkward airport questions, a useful reminder that hacker badges also live as social objects.

Add-ons & Upgrades

Reverse-engineering tutorial trail

The attendee report links a designer-authored reverse-engineering guide and a second programming guide that used avrdude, avr-gcc, and C examples.

Issues & Camp Impact

missing rights-cleared image note

No documentary photo of the exact 2011 badge has been cleared for public reuse.

Publish no image until licensing and attribution for an original badge photo are cleared.

Confidence: project provenance
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: Project image provenance and Korben report.

source-depth caveat note

The current public source set establishes the 2011 electronic badge and linked tutorial trail, but component-level hardware and complete firmware details still need original tutorial recovery.

The dossier remains useful for French badge history while avoiding unsupported chip and firmware claims.

Confidence: attendee report
Status: needs archived tutorial recovery
Timeframe: post-event archive
Source note: Korben NDH2k11 report and linked Tix Le Geek tutorial references.
