Icelandic Security BSides printed badge and merchandise sponsorship trail
A conservative Icelandic Security BSides identity-artifact record: the official BSides Reykjavik 2026 event page anchors the March 18, 2026 Valur FC Club House conference, and the official sponsorship package lists Platinum sponsor logo placement on badges and merchandise.
Admission badge with a web-puzzle companion; electronics undocumented
BSides Roanoke 2026's organizer-operated General Admission listing explicitly included a badge. A separate ShenLabs website declares itself a work of fiction created for the BSides Roanoke 2026 badge challenge. Together they support an admission-badge and web-puzzle record, but do not identify a physical link, electronics, or an embedded challenge mechanism.
Garoa ESP8266/OLED community electronic badge
Garoa Hacker Clube's own event-period demo repository identifies its REV. 0 board as a badge distributed at BSides SP 2026. The Garoa and official V21 event sources establish the completed São Paulo conference, while the public source trail documents an ESP8266 badge with a 128×64 OLED, buttons, sound/IR path, microSD socket, FTDI programming header, and public KiCad/Gerber/BOM material. It does not prove one final firmware or hardware revision for every conference unit.
ESP32 portable CTF badge
BSides San Diego 2026 handed attendees a Cyberpunk Bunny electronic badge: an ESP32-powered portable CTF with cryptography challenges, wireless hacking, hidden secrets, an accelerometer-driven oracle, BLE co-op behavior, and an ultimate hidden flag path.
Patron-benefit conference identity artifact; handoff unverified
BSides Seattle's official 2026 ticket page lists a Special badge at the event among the additional benefits of being a 2026 patron. The organizer's conference page places the event at Building 92 in Redmond on February 27-28, but the source does not identify the artifact's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, exact patron-tier allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
Official Tampa badge/lanyard challenge and Uber Badge award trail
BSides Tampa 2026 is represented here by official attendee-badge and badge-challenge sources: the current FAQ says every participant gets a badge and lanyard, the badge-challenge page tells attendees that their badge is part of the puzzle, and the Uber Badge page records the lifetime-admission award path for badge-challenge winners.
Lithuanian STM32H5 electronic badge with SAO and sensor
An official Lithuanian Security BSides 2026 electronic badge documented by the BSides-Vilnius badge2026 repository as an STM32H563RIT6 board with an SAO connector, an environmental temperature/humidity sensor, an LCD, and USB DFU, built for the June 3-4, 2026 event at Kablys in Vilnius.
Source-conservative afterparty admission identity artifact
BSidesKC's current 2026 activities page says attendees had to present a BSidesKC badge for afterparty entry. Together with the official event page, that establishes a 2026 badge-linked admission artifact; it does not identify a material, design, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, or whether it was the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.
Planned Israeli hardware CTF badge
A planned BSidesTLV 2026 electronic badge record from the current official Hardware Village page: the November 11, 2026 Alice in AI Land conference advertises a Badge CTF Challenge for uncovering secrets hidden in the event's electronic badge.
Pre-event BTV fundraiser for a DC32-origin ESP32 camera badge
Blue Team Village at DEF CON's Eventbrite offer schedules the BTV Camera Badge as a DEF CON 34 fundraiser for August 7-9, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, with in-person village pickup only. It offers an assembled badge and lanyard for $120 or an intermediate-to-advanced soldering kit for $60. The listing says the badge does not take photos; instead, in an appropriate mode, its camera-lens display shows when deauthentication packets are being sent or Flipper Zeros are nearby, and says its brain is an ESP32 board capable of custom software. BTV's public MIT `btv_dc32_badge` archive explicitly describes the artifact as a DEF CON 32 indie badge and preserves its Arduino source, KiCad project, Gerbers, CAD/fabrication files, parts list, and assembly guide. This is a current source-backed fundraiser for a documented DC32-origin design, not evidence of a newly engineered DEF CON 34 hardware revision, completed pickup, final 2026 firmware, radio-detection performance, electrical safety, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.
Current $10 three-flashing-red-LED SAO; handoff and host compatibility unverified
Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Badge Crown SAO a Crown Shitty Add-On for a conference badge. The current page shows a $10 price, 10 remaining, 20 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It describes a fully assembled SAO with one SAO connector, three flashing red LEDs, and three resistors; its own listing says no soldering, programming, or separate battery is required and tells users only to connect it to a compatible badge. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM village slot. These sources establish a distinct pre-event electronic add-on record, not a documented pinout, voltage/current budget, universal host fit, completed sale or handoff, DEF CON issuance or credential role, or image reuse.
Published pre-event RP2354 BadgeLife village badge; allocation and handoff unverified
Badge.Life's public archive documents Badgey Bodgerton as the Badgelife Village Badge for DC34 / 2026. Its published guide names an RP2354 microcontroller with integrated flash, eight addressable RGB NeoPixel LEDs, three user buttons, one user-installed 3 mm challenge LED and polarized buzzer, USB-C power, USB CDC serial CLI, UF2 firmware flashing, a single-cell 18650 battery with charging and protection circuitry, two Simple Add-On v2 headers, and an infrared receiver. It also documents a supplied bodge-wire challenge and supplied LED/resistor/buzzer challenge parts. This establishes a distinct, technically documented pre-event BadgeLife village electronic badge, not proof that DEF CON designed, issued, or will distribute it; that it is a Human admission credential; that every participant receives one; that a final badge run, pickup, or delivery occurred; or that any displayed image is cleared for reuse.
Planned app-issued venue-access identity artifact
Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026's official app page tells visitors to download the official app and secure a digital badge, calling it the essential key for venue access. The same page says the app will be available in September 2026, before the November 3-5 Barcelona event. This record models a planned app-issued access identity artifact only; it does not infer a physical badge, a PCB, a ticket entitlement, an account or credential format, or a final access workflow.
Planned printable networking identity artifact
Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026's official app page says that, with the event digital badge, visitors can print a Networking Badge to facilitate connections with fellow attendees. It names the registration desk and the Hall 2.1 info point as print locations. This record captures that planned printable networking artifact without assuming its physical medium, design, personal-data fields, access rights, or relationship to the separate digital venue-access badge.
Independent ATtiny814 24-NeoPixel minibadge holder offered for DEF CON 34
Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Beelzebub Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and says DEF CON pickup is only for August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes 24 NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, USB-or-battery power, custom or pre-programmed themes, and an assembled board whose minibadge headers and optional battery holder still require soldering; it also says shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/beelzebub_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates a holder for five minibadges, a 24-LED source layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a filename with `saintcon_2025`, so it is a useful implementation and lineage source, not proof of a completed SAINTCON distribution, an unchanged final 2026 build, final fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.
Planned student-pass conference identity artifact
Black Hat Europe's official 2026 registration and pass-comparison pages say Student Pass badge pickup is Thursday, December 10 only. The official event site places the cybersecurity conference at ExCeL London on December 7-10, but the public sources do not identify the badge's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, technical function, broader pass eligibility, or completed pickup/delivery.
Completed DEF CON ticket-verification conference identity artifact; handoff details remain unverified
Black Hat's official 2026 DEF CON-registration and attendee-resource pages say that a registrant who bought a DEF CON ticket through an eligible Black Hat pass receives a DEF CON symbol printed on their Black Hat badge. The person presents that marked badge during the August 6 pickup workflow, where staff hole-punch it as proof of pickup, but the sources do not identify the badge's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, broader access behavior, or completed handoff.
Cyber Ægg LoRa mesh badge
BornHack 2026 is documented by Badge.Team as the Cyber Ægg egg-shaped badge: nRF52840/NFC, SX1262 LoRa, 1.54-inch black/red/white e-paper, tri-colour visuals, QWIIC, USB-C, and BornPets, with open Codeberg hardware and firmware links.
Current $80 RP2354 breadboard-prototyping badge; fulfillment unverified
Tw0nkus's live Uberflux listing calls Breadbadge a badge by day and a breadboard-prototyping tool by night. It identifies an RP2354A main MCU, INA3221 I2C voltage/current/power monitor, ST7789 SPI display, six WS2812 RGB LEDs, navigation joystick/back button, UART/UPDI/I2C/5 V/3.3 V/debug breakouts, and a Defcon34 drop. The same current listing displayed $80, five remaining, and four sold. Badge.Life's current DC34 Village schedule independently lists Bread Badge by Tw0nkus in its Friday 1:30 PM badge-drop slot. This is enough evidence for a distinct, independently offered pre-event electronic badge associated with DEF CON 34, not proof that DEF CON issued it, that it is an admission credential, that inventory/payment/fulfillment figures are final, that a drop or handoff occurred, or that marketplace images are cleared for reuse.
Source-backed RGB LED-matrix event badge
SEIF-UAM's public C1B3RTR4CKS 2026 badge repository documents an event badge with a CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller, 8×16 RGB LED matrix, five-button control surface, public C firmware, games, and a personal-name marquee. The official event site and a contemporaneous attendee report place the physical artifact at the completed May 29 Madrid event; final allocation and production details are not public.
ESP32-C6 hackable badge and Badge Hub for CONFidence
An official electronic badge for CONFidence 2026 in Krakow, documented as a hackable ESP32-C6 platform with OLED display, I2S audio amplifier, six navigation buttons, rechargeable LiPo power, firmware challenges, an 8-pin expansion port, and a live Badge Hub for MicroPython packages and community mods.
Independent planned ESP32-S3 battle-game badge project for DEF CON 34
Cyber Professionals Enthusiast Club's public `DC34-Mech-Badge` repository calls the work the DC 34 MechBattle Badge, describes it as the second iteration of menu and game logic for a CPEC DC34 badge offering, and says it is not final; its GitHub description explicitly calls it a DEFCON 34 Mech Badge by CPEC. A second CPEC repository publishes an in-progress PlatformIO/Arduino game codebase targeted at an Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 no-PSRAM board, with source-level display, Bluetooth Low Energy, QR, and sound surfaces. A third CPEC repository says it contains design files for SAO plug-in modules for the CPEC DC 34 badge; its commit-pinned source tree includes native KiCad project, PCB, and schematic paths with fist, gatling, laser, missile, panel, and sword filenames, an Arduino source file, and BOM/placement artifacts. The linked game-mechanics document is also a draft. These primary sources establish a real independent planned badge and companion-add-on design trail, not final physical hardware, manufactured units, electrical compatibility, availability, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, admission, deployed radio behavior, or reusable-image rights.
Badge Pirates ESP32-S3 hardware archive
The CactusCon 14 badge is preserved through Badge Pirates' public CC14 repository, which publishes KiCad design files, schematic PDF, interactive BOM, Gerbers, STEP exports, 3D-printable enclosure parts, and art assets for the 2026 CactusCon conference badge.
Past-date ticket-code and wristband camp record; completion unconfirmed
A conservative past-date Camp++ 2026 identity record: the official pages document August 6-9 2026 dates, Fényes Camping in Tata, ticket-code presentation at the gate, legally required reception check-in, wristband pickup at camp registration, and a Pretalx CfP path still marked coming soon. Rechecked August 25, the official pages retain that pre-event language and do not independently confirm that the camp occurred or that any artifact was issued.
RP2040 CAN/CAN FD vehicle-network CTF badge, with post-event fulfillment unverified
Car Hacking Village publicly announced its DEF CON 34 CTF badge. Official Village posts identify an RP2040, DB9 CAN 2.0/CAN FD support, interactive power management, and a 12 V 1.5 A power supply; the public `chv_badgetools` repository identifies itself as host-side CAN utilities for the DEF CON 34 badge. The scheduled August 6-9 Las Vegas event window has elapsed, but reviewed post-date sources still do not prove final badge manufacture, allocation, handoff, CTF operation, or a released final firmware.
Completed ESP32-S3 CircuitPython conference badge with public source
Carolina Code Conference's organizer documented Circuit Board Badge pickup for its August 14-15 event, and its named badge partner published a source archive for an ESP32-S3 CircuitPython board. The archive identifies five WS2812 LEDs, three buttons, a 1.77-inch ST7735S display, Micro-USB, and CR123A or USB power. It supports a released badge software and hardware reference, not a recipient ledger, an independently audited final production configuration, or a rights-cleared physical-badge image.
Pre-event ESP32-S3 LoRa mesh BadgeLife communicator
WyrdWyrks' live Uberflux listing identifies the $150 Celestial Wayfinder Badge as a DEF CON 34 pre-sale. At this August 3, 2026 source pass, the listing shows 5 sold and 95 remaining, with four pickup labels: DC34 Reddit Meetup Wednesday, DC34 Reddit Meetup Thursday, and DEF CON 34 BadgeLife 1 and 2. The maker describes an ESP32-S3, custom four-layer PCB, 128×128 OLED, SX1276 LoRa, GPS, magnetometer/IMU, five Cherry MX-compatible switches, a rotary encoder, 61 WS2812B LEDs, a buzzer, 3D-printed parts, a Li-ion battery, USB-C updating/charging, a LoRa mesh, Wi-Fi geolocation fallback, and a PWA. The public MIT-licensed firmware repository documents v1/v2/v3 platform variants, a 915 MHz SX127x-class LoRa mesh, GPS/status PingMessage data, PlatformIO build paths, RPC, and remote USB/BLE/web configuration; v4.0.0 publishes v3 and v2 binaries. A separate Fusion360/STL CAD repository and web-companion repository are public but have no detected license. This is a source-backed pre-event independent BadgeLife record, not proof of final fulfillment, a final production BOM, radio/regulatory performance, safety certification, universal update compatibility, official DEF CON admission status, or reusable-image rights.
Sold-out independent ESP32-S3 wrist badge with a second-run interest list
Bryce's official Clip-Boy shop explicitly presents Clip-Boy as an unofficial DEF CON 34 electronic badge: a wrist-mounted ESP32-S3 artifact with maker-described Wi-Fi/Bluetooth analysis tools, deauthentication detection, customizable LEDs, a theremin, collectibles, and a 3D-printed enclosure. Its live public inventory endpoint currently shows the complete first run at zero availability: 86 $120 Standard, 25 $130 Pro, and five $140 RAD badges, while the storefront says all 152 first-run units shipped and is only gauging interest for a possible second run. The seller states units ship in a passive listen-only mode and that a user may load an optional research build with additional capabilities for authorized testing. This is a current source-backed independent badge record, not a claim of official DEF CON affiliation, DEF CON admission, final hardware/BOM, delivered-unit receipt, a universally available research build, safe/legal use in every jurisdiction, or reusable-image rights.
Pre-event ESP32 ritual-game BadgeLife badge
Pfarrside Creations' badge-only listing describes the Cult of Cthulhu Indie DEF CON 34 Badge as an ESP32-powered interactive BadgeLife project that turns a DEF CON setting into a Cthulhu summoning ritual. The seller's page names ESP32, USB-C, rechargeable Li-Po power, ten LEDs, a screen, one-button input, badge types, a 13-chapter Ritual, six side-quest challenges, badge-to-badge Séance behavior, and unlockable games. It also states a second-week-of-July US-only shipping schedule with no DEF CON pickup. This is a maker-published independent badge listing, not verified final delivery or an official DEF CON admission credential.
Small-batch pre-event RP2040 youth-coding giveaway badge for DEF CON 34
A late-July public r/Defcon post by u/ProfessionalPea2218 says its author has been designing and hand-soldering a small batch of badge PCBs to help launch Cyb3rBytes404, a self-described San Diego nonprofit for free hands-on youth coding and electronics projects. The author says the badges are not for sale and are intended for random giveaway throughout ‘the con.’ Separately, the public Cyb3rBytes404 GitHub repository calls itself the official repository for the cyber coding camp and documents a custom RP2040 cyber-cat badge, MicroPython starter material and challenges, an MPU-6050 motion module, and thirty WS2812 RGB LEDs. Its visible commit history places the reviewed README update on July 28, 2026. The shared project name supports a source-backed pre-event DEF CON 34 association, but it does not establish that the Reddit author controls the GitHub namespace, that every physical PCB matches the repository snapshot, final hardware, the run size, a completed giveaway, or a DEF CON-issued credential.
Planned interactive hackable-badge competition for London
CyberThreat's official 2026 site and SANS registration page advertise an interactive hackable-badge challenge and a Hackable Badge Competition for the November London event. They establish a planned 2026 badge activity, not a released physical or electronic badge specification, attendee-wide issue, or completed handoff.
Official lanyard-and-plastic attendee identity artifact
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration listing describes its Analog / Plastic Entry Pass as a lanyard and physical plastic entry pass supplied with a digital program. The official FAQ separately distinguishes analog tickets that redeem a plastic badge from the general electronic and limited premium badge forms, so this record remains an explicitly non-electronic identity artifact rather than an inferred PCB badge.
Official interactive PCB ticket-tier artifact; final build remains unarchived
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration listing describes its Digital / Circuit Badge ticket tier as an interactive circuit-board PCB badge. The official FAQ distinguishes that general digital/PCB/electronic tier from limited Extreme/Ultimate and Analog ticket forms, while a public organizer-account timeline mirror records the April event opening and wrap. Those sources establish a real completed-event ticket artifact, not a component-level board specification or an individual fulfillment record.
Official premium electronic and upgraded-PCB ticket-tier artifact
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration page separately advertised an Extreme Badge ticket tier with unique collectible electronic-badge wording and an exclusive upgraded-PCB feature. The official FAQ calls the limited VIP form an Extreme/Ultimate badge, but the recovered sources do not say whether it was a distinct physical board, an upgrade of the Digital / Circuit Badge, multiple artifacts, or a final fulfilled configuration.
Public KiCad/Arduino DEF CON 34 project; production and distribution unverified
eggsactly's public `DC-34-Countdown-To-Singularity` repository explicitly calls itself KiCad 6 design files for a DEF CON badge that lets users display an estimate for when the AI singularity will occur. Its README names eight seven-segment displays, a real-time clock, front buttons for changing the estimate, a KiCad board tree, an Arduino firmware tree, and a BOM that includes an ATmega328P-PU, PCF8523T, seven 2×3 SAO connectors, three buttons, 9 V input/battery parts, and display/power components. This is a real, independently documented pre-event source project, not proof of an assembled run, a specific final unit, DEF CON authorization, allocation, sale, delivery, credential function, or a rights-cleared image.
Documented independent pre-event ESP32 RFID-kit badge; distribution unverified
The public `slash128v6/DC34_Cnet_Badge` repository documents a DC34-named electronic kit titled “DC34 CompuNet Badge - Malware Scan Tool 3000.” Its README has a banner reading “Join CompuNet & Critical Start at Defcon!” and lists a PCB, ESP32 Dev Module, round LCD, RFID reader, microSD reader/card, RGB LED, six-pin female SAO header, four-AAA battery holder, 3D-printed stand and slides, RFID sticker tags, plus a separate RGB-LED SAO. The public project tree includes hardware, software, SD-card assets, and a root MIT license. It is therefore a real, independently documented pre-event DEF CON 34-associated kit record, not evidence that DEF CON, CompuNet, or Critical Start authorized, made, issued, sold, or distributed it.
