RVAsec 2021 Badge

Source-limited Badge Intro artifact in the continuing HackRVA electronic-badge lineage

The RVAsec 2021 badge record is intentionally narrow: InfoconDB preserves a Badge Intro session at the November 4-5, 2021 Omni Richmond event, and HackRVA's current badge page describes an annual electronic badge lineage with schedules, games, surprises, sponsorship, and limited badge availability.

RVAsec provided the November 2021 conference context.

Why It Mattered

It closes the visible RVAsec year between the 2020 firmware archive and the 2022 public RP2040-era firmware while making clear that no year-specific 2021 schematic, firmware tree, or publishable photo has been recovered.

Hardware

Public sources support an attendee badge artifact in the HackRVA electronic-badge lineage, but this pass did not recover 2021-specific component, PCB, schematic, BOM, enclosure, or production details.

Software & Apps

The source trail supports Badge Intro context and HackRVA's general electronic-badge behavior of schedule, games, and surprises. It does not expose 2021-specific firmware, challenge source, or protocol documentation.

Lore

RVAsec 2021 returned at the Omni Richmond Hotel in November 2021. The entry avoids importing 2020 or 2022 technical details into 2021 without a source tying those details to that edition.

Issues & Camp Impact

missing rights-cleared image note

No 2021 RVAsec badge image is published because no specific photo or official raster render with reusable rights, attribution, source URL, and processing notes was recovered.

The record remains image-free rather than copying event media or generated replacements.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and public source audit.

missing rights-cleared image note

No RVAsec 2021 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.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and RVAsec 2021 badge source trail.

year-specific source gap note

The public trail supports Badge Intro context and continuing HackRVA electronic-badge lineage, but this pass did not recover a 2021-specific public firmware repository, schematic, BOM, component list, production note, or final attendee guide.

The record avoids importing 2020 or 2022 technical details into 2021 without a year-specific source.

Confidence: source-limited
