Software You Can Love 2026 SYCL Badge V2

Planned RP2350 developer-conference PCB badge for Tables Day

Software You Can Love's official 2026 update says attendees of the conference's Sunday Tables Day will receive a SYCL Badge V2. The planned October 3-6 Metro Vancouver event describes the activity as a PCB Badge and identifies selected V2 changes: an RP2350 instead of the earlier ATSAMD51J19 and three AAA batteries instead of LiPo power. A public project repository describes itself as the SYCL conference badge, but the official event material does not map a particular repository commit or design revision to the October handout.

Spectre Sniffer Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event sold-out XIAO ESP32S3 EMF BadgeLife release

NilbinSec's live Uberflux listing identifies the Spectre Sniffer Badge as a limited DEF CON 34 release. At this August 3, 2026 source pass, the $80 listing shows 80 sold and no units remaining. Its maker-published description names a XIAO ESP32S3, a live EMF detector with a real-time spike graph, a randomized-word Spirit Box whose output rate follows the stated EMF signal, a SAO v1.69bis connector with I2C, one included Pac-Man Ghost SAO in one of four colors, a protected 18650 battery and lanyard, and one- and two-player arcade games. The seller says release is pickup only at the BadgeLife Village and announced LVCC locations, with missed drops donated at closing ceremonies. This is a source-backed pre-event independent BadgeLife record, not proof of final handoff, finished firmware, component-level engineering, instrument accuracy, electrical safety, official DEF CON admission status, or reusable-image rights.

Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 (DEF CON 34)

Independent planned Hak4Kidz Lab Phaser v2.2 SAO sale at DEF CON 34

Hak4Kidz Lab's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a new SAO, links a maker video with that exact title, says it can be purchased from Hacker Warehouse at DEF CON, and gives an approximately $35 price. The maker's live Tindie product page also identifies Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a Hak4Kidz Lab electronic badge wearable and a fun blinky add-on. That page says it can attach to a Badgelife-supported SAO 1.69bis connector, describes side-view and shine-down LEDs illuminating the PCB, barrel, and top tracer, and calls the SAO connector a DIY soldering part. It also says the named v2.2 listing was made for DC31 and is a follow-up to a 2019 v1; its coin-cell pin-wear path was still in works. These sources establish a real planned independent current-event sale and a historical same-name product lineage—not completed DEF CON sales, confirmed Hacker Warehouse stock, a final 2026 production/revision mapping, a supplied coin-cell wearable configuration, a complete circuit/firmware archive, official DEF CON issuance or admission, reusable-image permission, or Star Trek rights-holder authorization.

Station 562 Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event independent BLE number-station puzzle badge for DEF CON 34

Station 562 is a source-conservative independent DEF CON 34 badge record from its public maker announcement. The project owner describes a proximity-controlled badge with a BLE number-station puzzle, red-versus-blue proximity game, autonomous social/dance mode, expressive BLE MIDI instrument, tamper-evident mode, Setup menu, and optional hardware CTF. In follow-up comments, the maker reports about 55 units made so far, signed firmware with a distinct key pair per badge, a constrained giveaway/sale plan, and RGB blank boards that omit the OLED, LiPo, and ESP32 module. No public repository, schematic, firmware release, final availability ledger, or reusable-image permission was recovered.

THcon 2026 Badge

French ESP32-C6 B.A.D.G.E. with OLED, SAO, and BLE color propagation

The official THcon 2026 B.A.D.G.E. page documents an ESP32-C6 electronic badge with the Badge3000 WiFi access point, an I2C OLED at address 0x3C, and BLE padlock and one-time-password challenges for the May 5-6 tenth edition in Toulouse. A May 13 first-hand attendee teardown identifies the distributed board as an ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 build with an SSD1306 OLED, WS2812 RGB LED, ATC24C04 EEPROM, SAO connector, single-cell battery/TP4056 charging path, and USB-C CH340C serial bridge; it also documents the delivered firmware's BLE color-command propagation behavior.

TROPICON 2026 · 2026

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge

Electronic Cats ESP32-C6 badge source with public KiCad hardware and firmware archives

Electronic Cats' public Badge_Tropicon-2026 repository describes its project as the official TROPICON 2026 badge and publishes native KiCad design material. Its commit-pinned hardware README identifies an ESP32-C6, a 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS display using an NV3007, LoRa hardware, and an AHT30 sensor. A companion Electronic Cats firmware archive documents software for the TROPICON badge and is marked GPL-3.0 by GitHub. The official TROPICON site establishes the completed April 17-18 Cozumel event, but does not itself link or independently confirm the technical archives, allocation, credential role, final production configuration, recipient handoff, or reusable-image rights.

Telecom Village at DEF CON 34 · 2026

Telecom Village DEF CON 34 Badge

Organizer-revealed pre-event badge and lanyard

Telecom Village's official organizer account has introduced an all-new Telecom Village badge and lanyard for DEF CON 34. The same account previously said its badge package had been received and badges secured, while the official village site identifies PCBWay as Badge Sponsor. Those primary sources establish a real pre-event village artifact and accompanying lanyard, but do not establish its construction, electronics, final recipient scope, credential role, or completed handoff.

Temporal Replay 2026 Badge

MIT-licensed ESP32-S3 badge with Doom, MicroPython, and IR boop

An official Temporal Replay 2026 developer-conference badge documented by the MIT-licensed temporal-community/badge.temporal.io repository as an ESP32-S3 app platform with an OLED and LED matrix, a Doom port, MicroPython, and infrared boop badge-to-badge networking, for the May 5-7, 2026 event in San Francisco.

The Beer SAO / BCCC Temperature Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event RP2350 temperature-measuring Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34's BCCC

The live maker listing for The Beer SAO, the public `aerospace-venoms/BCCC_Temperature_SAO` source tree, and BCCC's own DEF CON 34 page document an independent temperature-measuring Simple Add-On associated with the Beer Chilling Contraption Contest. The marketplace's August 4, 2026 payload shows a $45, 150-unit presale with 28 sold and 122 remaining, two BadgeLife Village pickup slots, and no shipping. It describes a roughly 100 mm beer-cup SAO with a waterproof temperature probe, triple seven-segment display, RP2350 with 2 MB flash, USB-C, and a supplied 180-degree adapter for the upside-down DC34 host ports. The source tree identifies an RP2350A, W25Q16 flash, DS18B20 temperature sensor, RGB-independent brightness control, Pico-SDK firmware, KiCad design files, a versioned UF2, and batch programming/soak-test tooling; it says BCCC winners receive copies while stock lasts. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof of final manufacture, pickup, contest results, host compatibility, temperature accuracy, safety, final firmware, DEF CON organizer endorsement, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

The Shattered Shard (DEF CON 34)

Public player-guide electronic challenge badge; allocation unverified

BigDawgDave's public GitHub repository describes itself as the public repository for a DEF CON 34 RM-Cyber challenge badge called The Shattered Shard. Its Player Guide tells participants to use an assigned badge with a charged battery, a local Wi-Fi/browser interaction, a data-capable USB cable, a serial terminal, and one labelled-jumper task. It is enough evidence to preserve a separately named, independently documented pre-event electronic challenge badge, but it does not prove the RM-Cyber relationship, organizer authorization, hardware provenance, sale or giveaway, run size, allocation, physical handoff, completed on-site use, admission function, or a rights-cleared image.

DEF CON 34 · 2026

UPDeeDeeI SAO (DEF CON 34)

Sold-out pre-event Lepi Labs UPDI-programmer moth Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies UPDeeDeeI as a DEF CON 34-drop moth Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with seven sold, zero remaining, and a $35 listed price. The maker says a CH340E USB-to-serial converter supports UPDI programming of compatible ATtiny devices, names an onboard ATtiny814 with two RGB LED eyes, and describes USB-C plus a flexible FPC tongue used as a functional USB cable. It also claims configurable 3.3 V or 5 V UPDI voltage, SAO or included CR2032 power, and v1.1 pre-event corrections including an FPC power fuse. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent programming-tool SAO, not proof of final board revision, safe programming configuration, USB/FPC durability, compatible target coverage, delivery, host compatibility, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Unknown Security Conference 2026 Pwn Llama Badge

CH573F BLE virtual-pet and CTF electronic badge

A source-backed Peruvian Unknown Security Conference 2026 electronic-badge record that joins the official pass's lanyard-and-badge inclusion with Electronic Cats' self-described official Pwn Llama badge repository. Its public history shows hardware work before the June 4-6 Lima event and a July documentation update.

DEF CON 34 · 2026

Volatile Organic Canary SAO (DEF CON 34)

Sold-out pre-event Lepi Labs novelty VOC-indicator Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies the Volatile Organic Canary as a DEF CON 34-drop Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with 11 sold, zero remaining, and a $45 listed price. The product describes an SGP40 VOC sensor plus SHT4x temperature/humidity sensor, a two-character fourteen-segment display, RGB LED, ATtiny1616-S controller, UPDI reprogramming, SAO or included CR2032 power, and a lanyard clip. Its maker explicitly says the device is novelty-only and must not be relied on for accurate air-quality measurements; it also records a ten-minute VOC-index warmup and a v1.0 board-order/remediation plan. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent sensor SAO, not proof of final manufactured hardware, sold orders, safe or accurate air-quality measurement, delivery, host compatibility, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Whose Slide Is It Anyway? 10 Year Anniversary Badge

Pre-event ESP32-C3 commemorative badge for Whose Slide's tenth DEF CON year

Whose Slide Is It Anyway?'s maker storefront offers a $75 10 Year Anniversary Badge and says it is limited to 100 units. The listing describes an ESP32-C3, 24 RGB LEDs, three pre-programmed sound effects with corresponding light shows, and a silkscreen replication of its Whose Slide gong artwork. Its public Shopify product payload currently marks the only variant unavailable; that is an availability snapshot, not evidence that all 100 were made, sold, shipped, or collected. The maker says buyers may arrange DEF CON pickup this year or shipment by early August. The current public DC34 contest listing describes 2026 as the contest's tenth year, and the public DC34 BadgeLife index separately lists this artifact. This is a source-backed independent pre-event commemorative badge record, not proof of final production, final firmware/board revision, completed charity distribution, official DEF CON affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge: Maker-documented ESP CTF challenge badge

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 · 2026

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge

Maker-documented ESP CTF challenge badge

A public maker archive explicitly titled Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge Badge 2026 links itself to WICC and documents a hackable serial-CLI CTF badge with ESP8266 and ESP32 target trees, challenge activities, a two-part protective case, and a repository photo of a physical cased device. WICC's official site and Cyber Ireland's post-event recap confirm the completed July 9-10 Dublin competition, but neither organizer source names this exact project. TOG separately reports building 15 ESP8266 hardware flags for the same CTF without identifying them as this archive, so this is a maker-documented event-linked electronic badge—not an organizer-issued credential, general attendee badge, or claim of equivalence to the flags.

WomenCon 2026 Digital Morpher Badge

Included interactive Electronic Cats badge with AAA-powered screens

WomenCon's public ticket posts describe the Digital Morpher as an interactive, collectible electronic badge designed and developed by Electronic Cats and included with admission. An IQSEC-host-linked public update told attendees to bring their own AAA batteries to power its screens and announced registration kit handoff; a post-event WomenCon source statement says Electronic Cats badges functioned during live hardware hacking. No component, firmware, or reusable-image archive is published.

DEF CON 34 · 2026

Wordweaving Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event RP2350 CTF-adventure BadgeLife badge for DEF CON 34

BigTaro's own Wordweaving Badge project page and live Uberflux listing describe an independent DEF CON 34 top-down adventure / CTF badge. The current maker payload shows a $120 100-unit presale with 41 sold, DC34 pickup, and post-con shipping; it also says the badge would be $140 at the maker-described Hacker Warehouse booth during the conference. The maker describes an RP2350 with 4 MB flash, 16 RGB addressable LEDs, a 128×128 grayscale display, rechargeable LiPo via USB-C, and a fully addressable SAO port. It publishes game, CTF, multiplayer, word-building, and optional-component claims, but says hardware documentation and a stub firmware will only be provided after the conference. The project page says 30-plus CTF puzzles while the live listing says 35-plus, so the record preserves a broad maker-described challenge surface rather than resolving the discrepancy. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge, not proof of final hardware/firmware, shipment or pickup, game availability, CTF completion, venue authorization, DEF CON affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Workday DevCon 2026 · 2026

Workday DevCon 2026 Blinky 2350 Badge

Post-event Pimoroni Blinky 2350 developer-conference badge; organizer allocation unverified

A public post-event app archive by Mainak Sarkar identifies a Pimoroni Blinky 2350 badge as handed out at Workday DevCon 2026 and says it ran the badgeware MicroPython operating system and app launcher. Workday's official pages establish the completed June 1-4 Las Vegas developer conference, but do not directly document badge issuance, recipient allocation, custom hardware, event firmware, or image rights. This is therefore a source-backed event badge record with intentionally limited organizer attribution.

cackalackycon 2026 Speaker Electronic Badge

Speaker-colored electronic admission badge; allocation evidence is limited

Cackalackycon 2026's organizer-provided Call for Papers promises every selected speaker a speaker-colored electronic badge and free admission. It separately gives the speaker one paper-badge guest admission, noting that a guest who wants an electronic badge must purchase a ticket. The organizer-linked ticket page also markets a 2026 electronic badge, and post-event organizer and badge-team reports corroborate that badges were made and handed out. This record therefore captures a source-backed speaker electronic-badge allocation, not a universal attendee or technical claim.

cackalackycon 2026 · 2026

cackalackycon 2026 Student Paper Badge

Student-admission paper identity artifact; explicitly not electronic

Cackalackycon 2026's official event and Cackalackycon 101 pages say students with a valid student ID can attend for free with a paper badge, no electronic badge, and no preregistration. This record models that explicitly disclosed student identity artifact only; related speaker electronic-badge evidence is kept in a separate, scoped record rather than becoming a student hardware claim.

h-c0n 2026 · 2026

h-c0n 2026 CTF BADge

Madrid Hackplayers electronic development-board CTF badge

A source-backed Spanish hacker-conference electronic badge record: the official h-c0n post says Hackplayers finally produced an electronic badge for the sixth 2026 edition, describes it as a fully functional development board, and ties pickup to the February 6 conference registration and CTF start; the public `therealdreg/hcon2026hwctf` repository and Hackplayers post-event write-up document RP2350/RISC-V firmware, tooling, named co-creators, and winner write-ups.

DEF CON 34 · 2026

iFixit SAO (DEF CON 34)

Maker-documented ATtiny1604 soldering-challenge Simple Add-On

NerdFlare's public repository describes a 2026 iFixit Shitty Add On (SAO), while its repository description labels the project an iFixit DEFCON 2026 SAO. The commit-pinned README documents a physical PCB art badge with multiple LED animations, an interactive surface-mount soldering challenge, user-programmable firmware, an ATtiny1604-SS target, PlatformIO/Arduino code, and KiCad design files. A dated July 18 source commit says "Version 0.1 - FINAL: art, code, and PCB. 1000 made for DEFCON34." Those are direct project-publisher statements sufficient to retain a distinct pre-event DEF CON 34 artifact, but not proof of organizer issuance, iFixit corporate publication, event authorization, attendee allocation, actual handoff, admission function, a final unit-by-unit configuration, or reusable-image rights.

leHACK 2026 Badge Hackropole

Open ESP32-S3 capacitive light-up workshop badge

leHACK's official 2026 workshop schedule and the French National Cybersecurity Agency's leHACK listing present Badge Hackropole as a novice-accessible workshop in which participants assemble a capacitive light-up badge, solder a microcontroller and eight SMD LEDs, and program preconfigured WLED firmware. FCSC-FR's public hackropole-badge repository supplies the PCB source, assembly instructions, firmware binaries/configuration, and per-file licensing. The programme lists ten 55-minute workshop sessions across June 26-27, but the source trail does not prove final attendance, completed builds, or a conference-wide handout.

x33fcon 2026 Conference Badge

Polish conference-floor identity badge

A conservative x33fcon 2026 identity-artifact record: the official conference page documents the June 11-12, 2026 Gdynia edition and currently says registration is closed at full capacity, while the terms require all people on the conference floor to have a visible badge at all times. The official afterparty instructions separately tell attendees to bring a physical x33fcon ID or ticket to enter either venue.

39C3 Critical Decentralization Cluster Badge

Open-hardware ESP32-S3 / TROPIC01 assembly badge and devboard

The Critical Decentralization Cluster's CDC Badge was presented as an electronic conference badge and development board at the completed 39th Chaos Communication Congress. The source-backed open-hardware platform combines an ESP32-S3, TROPIC01 secure element, front-lit e-paper display, twelve-button keypad, LiPo power path, and expansion ports, while public sources do not establish a conference-wide or admission-badge allocation.

BSides Adelaide 2025 Wombat-2 CTF Badge

Standalone binary-entry CTF badge with tactile buttons, LEDs, and hidden hardware challenge

BSides Adelaide 2025's second Wombat badge is source-backed by Hackerware, Hackster, and attendee challenge analysis: it kept the MS51FB9AE/CR2032 LED badge line but added onboard CTF controls, seven official challenge LEDs, binary flag entry, and an unannounced hardware challenge.

BSides Agra 2025 IOTSRG Badge

Indian Security BSides badge-sponsor and soldering-village record

A conservative source-backed BSides Agra 2025 badge record from the archived official site and official social trail, documenting an IOTSRG Badge Sponsor role, all-attendee collectible-badge framing, and a hands-on soldering village without asserting an unrecovered final circuit.

BSides Bournemouth 2025 · 2025

BSides Bournemouth 2025 Skull Badge

ATtiny402 skull PCB badge

A completed BSides Bournemouth 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. BSides Bournemouth's official 2025 page establishes its Bournemouth 2600-led community cybersecurity conference and reports 200+ attendees; the Security BSides schedule records the August 16 date. Punk Security's own event page identifies it as badge sponsor and calls the artifact a Punk BSides skull badge, while its post-event repository identifies the Skull Badge and preserves EAGLE, Gerber, Arduino firmware, vector, and printed-art material. The archive names an ATtiny402, button, two CR2032 clips, and 5050 NeoPixel. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
