RVAsec 2017 Badge

HackRVA badge artifact with badge-intro and CTF-room context

The RVAsec 2017 badge record is intentionally conservative: official RVAsec sources place HackRVA badge distribution in the 2017 layout and sponsor trail, and InfoconDB preserves a Badge Intro item, but this pass did not recover final component, firmware, schematic, or complete attendee-guide evidence.

Why It Mattered

It fills the sixth-year RVAsec/HackRVA badge line without inventing electronics. The record proves a HackRVA badge artifact and badge-program context while keeping hardware and software detail gaps visible.

Hardware

Public sources confirm HackRVA badge distribution at RVAsec 6 and a sponsor-backed badge context, but do not expose a final 2017 board photo, schematic, BOM, firmware tree, controller part, or exact I/O list in this pass.

Software & Apps

InfoconDB preserves Badge Intro context, but no final 2017 firmware repository, challenge source, bootloader guide, or complete badge-app documentation was recovered here.

Lore

The official layout placed badges from HackRVA in the James River Terrace area, tying the 2017 artifact to the conference floor rather than only to later recollection.

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail gap note

The public trail confirms HackRVA badge distribution and badge-program context but does not expose final hardware specifications, firmware source, schematic, BOM, component list, or a complete attendee badge guide.

The badge is modeled as a source-backed artifact without invented electronics or component claims.

Confidence: source-limited
Status: unrecovered
Timeframe: RVAsec 2017
Source note: RVAsec 6 layout, RVAsec badge archive, and InfoconDB Badge Intro context.

missing rights-cleared image note

No 2017 RVAsec badge image is published because this pass did not recover a specific badge photo or official raster render with reusable license or explicit permission, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.

The record remains image-free rather than copying page media, archived media, or generating an approximation.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: RVAsec, HackRVA, and InfoconDB source audit.

missing rights-cleared image note

No RVAsec 2017 Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
