HackGDL 2026 Camera Badge

Source-backed RV1106G3 Linux camera badge artifact

Electronic Cats publicly listed and sourced a Camera Badge HackGDL 2026: an RV1106G3 Linux camera badge with a 3 MP camera and public hardware files. HackGDL's official site records its completed March 14, 2026 edition and names Electronic Cats among sponsors; the organizer's public feed later promoted the 2026 badge alongside 2025 stock. These sources establish a named event-associated artifact, not ticket inclusion, attendee receipt, access-control use, recipient count, production run, or final deployed firmware.

HackNWA 2026 VIP Assembled Badge

Ticket-listed badge offering; specifications undisclosed

HackNWA's official 2026 conference page and organizer-linked Eventbrite registration establish the completed April 17 Bentonville event and its CTF / ASMb1337 hardware-hacking context. The current registration page marks sales ended. A contemporaneous ticket-listing capture records a separate USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge category alongside USD 55 General Admission. Together these sources support a real time-specific badge offering, but do not establish whether the item was an electronic device, a PCB kit, a conventional physical credential, or another kind of assembled artifact, nor whether it was produced, collected, or delivered.

HackThePlanet SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event 555-timer analog Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

HogFillet's live Uberflux listing calls this the HackThePlanet SAO for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $24 and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23. A public DEF CON 34 maker self-submission by FakeBobby / HogFillet calls the same linked product HTP Graffiti and gives the same $24 price; the catalogue treats that exact product-URL match as a source-backed alternate listing name, not a second board. The maker describes a 555 timer clocking a ten-bit ripple counter whose outputs drive eight LEDs through the board's graffiti art, with an onboard trimmer controlling the flash rate. It explicitly says the board has no firmware and no I2C handshake, and says a separate button can be connected to the odd or even GPIO line of the DEF CON badge's SAO header. The listing announces Friday and Saturday Badge Life Booth pickup slots, with mailing or refund offered if a stated drop is missed. This is source-backed evidence for a pre-event independent analog SAO, not proof of final delivery, exact components or circuit values, host behavior, electrical safety, optical safety, conference authorization, admission, or reusable-image rights.

Hacker Boba Badge Kit (DEF CON 34)

Current $10 no-MCU CR2032 flashing-LED soldering kit; handoff and assembly outcome unverified

Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Hacker Boba a beginner-friendly Hacker Boba PCB Badge Kit. The current page shows a $10 price, 17 remaining, 33 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It lists a Hacker Boba PCB badge, keychain, power switch, CR2032 holder and included CR2032, three flashing RGB LEDs, and three resistors; it says the DIY kit arrives unsoldered, needs basic soldering supplies, has no microcontroller or firmware, and includes a QR code that opens a Google Maps Boba Shop search. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM slot. This supports a distinct pre-event electronic kit record, not a completed sale or assembly, DEF CON issuance or admission role, electrical-safety validation, a hardware-design release, or reusable listing images.

Hacker Pager (DEF CON 34 Revision)

Maker-announced independent Hacker Pager revision for DEF CON 34; handoff outcome unverified

A first-hand Exploitee.rs announcement says the team is bringing a new Hacker Pager revision to DEF CON 34, with planned online availability and BadgeLife Village pickup. Its official project site documents an ESP32-S3, Semtech SX1262 LoRa radio, monochrome LCD, microSD, USB-C, rechargeable LiPo power, buttons, speaker, vibration motor, LEDs, and open design sources; its current update page labels firmware 2.7.26.pager as DEF CON 34. Public electronics and case repositories publish KiCad/BOM and mechanical source material under CERN-OHL-S-2.0. This is sufficient evidence for a distinct, independently sold pre-event BadgeLife artifact associated with DEF CON 34, not evidence of DEF CON issuance, authorization, admission, a completed sale, pickup, delivery, final production configuration, or rights-cleared image.

Helgatchi Badge (DEF CON 34)

Independent ESP32-S3 BLE and Wi-Fi scanner badge offered for DEF CON 34

DC801's live Helgatchi product page identifies a $120 portable, rechargeable BLE-beacon and Wi-Fi-access-point scanner/hunter with configurable alerts. It names a XIAO ESP32-S3, 8 MB flash, a 400 mAh 3.7 V LiPo, 1.69-inch 240 by 280 Waveshare LCD, six RGB LEDs, vibration motor, and external SMA-RP 2.4 GHz antenna path. Pips801's public repository contains separate hardware and firmware/UI trees, while the public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies DC801 + 801 Labs' Helgatchi as a new badge associated with the August event. The listing remains an independent seller artifact with planned July pickup/shipping terms—not official DEF CON issuance, a Human badge, admission, confirmed recipient delivery, a fully audited detection device, an open-source license, or a rights-cleared image.

Pre-event RP2350B multi-protocol OT and automotive research badge

The ICS Village DEF CON 34 Badge is an official FREE-WILi page-documented, on-site / Vendor Village, while-supplies-last hardware badge for DEF CON 34. Its technical page specifies an RP2350B-A4 platform with RS485/Modbus RTU, CAN/CAN FD, 10BASE-T1S and 10BASE-T1L, a DB15 connector, OLED, encoder and RGB UI, storage, USB serial, FreeWili Porpoise Purpose Firmware, OneWili API support, and a stated 3.7 V / 1000 mA internal battery. As of this pre-event source pass, it is not a delivered-run or official DEF CON admission credential.

IEEE RFID 2026 Active BLE Badge

Minew MTB11 ambient-light-harvesting BLE conference tag

IEEE RFID 2026's official conference page advertised a complimentary twentieth-anniversary Bluetooth Low Energy badge, with 100 badges available. Its dedicated badge page identifies the active artifact as a custom-printed Minew MTB11 ambient-light-harvesting BLE tag. The source says that, when sufficiently charged from ambient light, it transmits a unique 48-bit identifier, battery voltage, and temperature in Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement packets. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe conference occurred, but the sources do not establish individual receipt or final device state.

Custom-printed passive UHF/QR conference tag

IEEE RFID 2026's dedicated badge page identifies a second conference artifact: a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag that can also be optically associated with its conference identifier through a QR code. The page says each tag uses a unique 96-bit, sequential conference/demo identifier rather than a GS1-compliant retail EPC, and that the identifier contains no personal attendee information. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe event, while the published sources do not establish recipient assignment, completed handoff, physical tag construction, or detailed QR behavior.

IEEE Rising Stars 2026 Conference Badge Project

Bare-PCB attendee badge and five advanced prototypes

IEEE Rising Stars' official post-event Badge Project page says every 2026 attendee received a bare PCB with no components, while only about five manually assembled advanced badges were prototyped. A separate pre-event SEAL-Embedded source snapshot documents a Raspberry Pi Pico W BLE networking-badge development track, but neither source identifies it as one of those five units. The record therefore keeps the all-attendee bare-PCB and limited-prototype claims separate and does not treat a public development branch as a universal working badge.

IFLFU SAO (DEF CON 34)

Independent PFC161 two-LED message SAO update announced for DEF CON 34

BigFuckingBadge's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response calls IFLFU SAO an update to an existing SAO, lists it at $20, and says it illuminates the words "I FUCKING LOVE FUCKING YOU" with the two "FUCKING" illuminations randomized. The same maker's live DEF CON 34 page has an unlabeled $20 OffensiveSAO card about a simple rectangle that sends a message at random; the roster supplies the direct IFLFU name/repository mapping. Hexum064's public `iflfu-v2-pfc161` C source includes PFC161 headers and drives two active-low LED outputs, each with an LFSR-based timing state, while the public hardware repository carries KiCad front/back boards and schematics, BOM/position files, Gerbers, and SAO-spacer models. These sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO update associated with DEF CON 34—not official conference issuance, admission, a fully recovered earlier lineage, completed fulfillment, final production parity, safe/electrically characterized hardware, a source-license grant, or a rights-cleared image.

Krampus Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)

Independent ATtiny814 five-NeoPixel minibadge holder offered for DEF CON 34

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Krampus Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and limits DEF CON pickup to August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes five NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, microcontroller development-pin access, USB-or-battery power, and custom or pre-programmed themes; it says minibadge headers and the optional battery holder require soldering and shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/krampus_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates an ATtiny814 holder described as holding six minibadges, a five-LED firmware layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a `saintcon_2025` filename, so the tree is an implementation and lineage source—not proof of completed SAINTCON distribution, final 2026 production parity, fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.

Laser* Tag Badge DS is an independent BadgeLife project planned for DEF CON 34. Its maker page describes an RP2350-based infrared tag game with a 915 MHz LoRa score-sync option and QR fallback, while a public late-July update says the boards have arrived and final assembly and flashing are in progress. The record is pre-event and independent; it is not an official DEF CON admission badge.

Pre-event yellow-LED art Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

delphi's live Uberflux listing calls Luna a simple PCB add-on for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $10, six sold, and 44 remaining, with on-site-only DEF CON 34 pickup and tentative Friday/Saturday BadgeLife Village times. The product says each approximately 57 by 50 mm unit is fully assembled and tested, has a standard 2 by 3 SAO header, and lights a yellow LED in Luna's forehead when connected to the DC34 badge; it explicitly says no adapter is needed. The source supports a real planned light-up art SAO and an independent event-acquisition claim, but not its exact LED part, circuitry, power/current behavior, broad host compatibility, final inventory, completed pickup, DEF CON organizer status, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

METROPOLIS AI SAO (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event red-eye art Simple Add-On with no described AI software

coryallegory's live Uberflux listing calls this METROPOLIS AI SAO and says it is inspired by Maria, the art-deco automaton from Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, 20 sold, and ten remaining, with a free Saturday BadgeLife Village pickup label and a pre-order statement for DEF CON 34 or BSidesLV pickup. The maker says each fully assembled unit uses a standard 2 by 3 SAO header and has a red eye that glows when powered through that header. The listing supplies no description of a model, application, controller, firmware, or other artificial-intelligence capability. This is a source-backed pre-event independent LED art SAO record, not evidence of AI software, final manufacture, completed pickup, universal electrical compatibility, use rights in the film inspiration, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

The source-named Reddit account u/Truth-Miserable independently posted MF Doom SAO v2, said a limited original run existed the previous year, and said its parts will be surface mounted this time. Later maker comments describe direct-message preorders and planned local handoff near the Las Vegas Convention Center. These public maker statements establish a real planned independent 2026 v2 artifact, not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, completed manufacture or delivery, a documented electrical implementation, firmware/source release, a rights-cleared image, or affiliation with MF DOOM or a rights holder.

The marketplace's August 4, 2026 snapshot lists $50, 43 sold, and 57 remaining. The repository says the units are intended for online sale and DEF CON 34 handout in August 2026, identifies an RP2350B, 16 MB external flash, 1.5-inch 128 by 128 grayscale OLED, standard six-pin SAO header, USB-C, capacitive touch, potentiometer, buzzer, microphone, hall sensor, IMU, ambient-light sensor, IR transmit/receive, NFC/RFID, and LED banks. Its project diary confirms the work is ongoing and documents early prototype testing. The repository declares the work CC BY-SA 3.0. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof that a final revision has shipped, that all promoted functions are complete, that every radio/sensor interaction is safe or private, that a named third-party lore asset grants image rights, that the project is DEF CON-issued, or that it grants admission.

Its current public product payload marks all three purchase options unavailable: a $65 badge-and-SAOs option, a $150 bundle option that adds Dani.pink's separately made Laser* Tag Badge DS, and an $80 voluntary extra-payment option. The listing describes a small monorail on a track, a clip for a paper ticket not included, three SAOs, a speaker/mini-SD sound surface, blinky lights, and a regulated 3.3 V supply from two AAA batteries. The maker explicitly says final versions may vary and that it has no affiliation with the Las Vegas Monorail. This is a source-backed independent pre-event badge record, not evidence of final manufactured specification, fulfilled pickup/trade, included transit fare, common hardware/firmware ownership with the bundled Laser* Tag badge, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

NilbinSec's public DC34 Main Badge Fuzzer SAO repository documents a standalone SAO designed to exercise interfaces on the official DEF CON 34 Human badge using information published before the conference. Its README describes three initial modes: GPIO1/GPIO2 stimulation on the left SAO port, an open-drain CPU wake assertion on GPIO4 of the right port, and an I²C-address listening sweep. The repository provides a KiCad schematic, BOM CSV, PCB archive, C firmware, and compiled hex/ELF files.

The maker's existing DC32 Power Glove SAO repository preserves a historical fabrication/assembly trail—Gerbers plus a bill of materials with two 470-ohm resistors, three flashing RGB LEDs, one cloudy red LED, and a 2×3 shrouded SAO header. It does not publish a 2026-specific repository, firmware, change log, or production record. This is a source-backed planned independent re-release, not proof that the 500 units were made, dropped, received, electrically identical to the DC32 design, officially issued by DEF CON, usable for admission, licensed for reuse, or represented by a rights-cleared image.

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 competition page's retained 2026 Solarpunk section says the hackable electronic badge was fully integrated into the CTF, with badge challenges worth points and on-site badge-firmware tampering among the physical tracks. Official villages pages document badge pickup through attendees' nSec order QR codes, soldering-village activity where attendees could enhance their badge with blinking electronic parts, and a badge museum. On August 3, after the May event, NorthSec published the separate Apache-2.0 `nsec/badge-2026` repository. Its commit-pinned hardware and source tree documents an ESP32-S3 badge design with an ST25R3916 NFC front end, six buttons, eighteen WS2812/NeoPixel LEDs, a 200×200 GDEH0154D67 / SSD1681 e-paper path, KiCad design files, production BOM/CPL/Gerbers, PlatformIO firmware, conference/CTF partitions, CTF assets, and dock/SAO directories.

Not Just a Crosswalk SAO (DEF CON 34)

Planned open-hardware CH32V003 light-up Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

The maker-owned public `keeloi79/not-a-crosswalk-sao` repository explicitly calls Not Just a Crosswalk a Simple Add-On (SAO) project for DEF CON 34. Its README documents a CH32V003 F4P6 RISC-V controller, eighteen side-emitting addressable LEDs, persistent palette/effect settings, two controls, 3.3 V host-badge power stepped to 5 V or a USB-C 5 V input path, and claimed SAO V1.69bis/V2.0 compatibility. The source tree includes documentation, schematics, firmware, build instructions, and a three-part license declaration: CERN-OHL-S v2 hardware, GPLv3 firmware, and CC BY-SA 4.0 documentation/creative works. This is a source-backed planned independent DEF CON 34 add-on, not evidence of a final manufactured run, price, sales channel, quantity, pickup, recipient, host-badge test matrix, electrical-safety validation, official DEF CON affiliation, admission right, or rights-cleared badge image.

OWASP SAO (DEF CON 34)

Source-published 15-pixel touch SAO firmware project; physical artifact and handoff unverified

Punk Security's public repository calls its Arduino sketch "the firmware for the OWASP DefCon 34 SAO." Its final public source snapshot provides an actual `main.ino` rather than an event-labelled name alone: it defines 15 addressable RGB pixel positions, three PTC capacitive-touch nodes, and a README that says the SAO header exposes UPDI for reprogramming. This clears the catalogue threshold for a named, source-published pre-event electronic add-on project. It does not establish a final PCB, microcontroller, power path, exact SAO specification, fabricated unit, approved OWASP or DEF CON relationship, price, allocation, pickup, delivered handoff, credential function, or reusable image rights.

Onion DAO 2026 Hardware Badge

Open ESP32-S3 Chicago builder-festival hardware badge

Onion DAO's official 2026 Chicago festival page says every accepted attendee gets a hardware badge at registration, with most components already on the board and a final soldering step. The same official site links to OnionDAO's public oniondao-badge repository, which documents a hacker-conference-style ESP32-S3 design, optional RF/audio modules, a display socket, secure element, expansion ports, and source trees for hardware and software. The public record supports a real organizer-published artifact and design, while exact recipient allocation, completed assembly, and final attendee population remain unverified.
