Middle-earth themed 555-timer LED soldering badge
BSides Canberra 2024's public ticketing page promised an electronic badge, and an attendee writeup describes the shipped badge as an orc-shaped soldering badge built around a 555 timer, LEDs, diode, resistor, capacitor, and 9V battery power.
ATtiny402 UFO PCB badge with source-described activity material
An electronic PCB badge identified by Punk Security's public source archive as the UFO badge for BSides Cheltenham 2024. Its repository preserves EAGLE, Gerber, Arduino firmware, vector-art, 3D-case, and activity-booklet material, and names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, and 5050 NeoPixel. The archive says the activity booklet was given out on the day. Punk Security's historical event timeline separately says it was the badge sponsor and had UFO badges, but currently renders that entry with an inconsistent early-2023 timestamp; the record therefore uses the repository's explicit 2024 badge identity without inventing an exact date or venue. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2024 confirmation, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, activity participation or outcome, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
Vendor-booth BCPen/CPen challenge badge

Little Shop of Horrors ATtiny402 soil-sensor PCB badge
An electronic PCB badge documented by its maker and badge sponsor, Punk Security, for BSides Newcastle 2024. Punk Security's own dated event listing identifies its October 5 Newcastle appearance as that year's badge-sponsor engagement and says Simon Gurney presented the making of the conference badge. The public `bsides-newcastle-2024-badge` archive calls the artifact the Little Shop of Horrors Plant Badge, says it was given out at BSides Newcastle, and describes it as a working soil sensor. It preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, firmware, board-image, and schematic material, and names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and 6.8 kΩ resistor. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2024 confirmation, venue, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, measurement performance, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
ESP32-C3 BLE rock-paper-scissors conference badge
Somerset Recon's post-event source archive says 400 badges were distributed at BSides San Diego 2024.

Independent three-board LED badge with a later DEF CON 33 vendor-list trail
redactd's Tindie listing introduces Dante's Inferno as an electronic badge just in time for DefCon 32, inspired by the Dante's Inferno Room. It describes three connected circuit boards, special two-color solder mask on the top two boards, sixty LEDs, an included CR123A battery, a populated SAO v1.69bis port, custom-printed box, laser-cut foam insert, and lanyard. The same maker's public repository documents a USB/UF2 firmware-update procedure and a July 2024 v1.1 release for pre-sale 1.0/1.01 units. A Hacker Couture DEFCON 33 product list later repeats the $100 product and core three-board, sixty-LED, CR123A, and SAO claims. Together, these sources establish one source-backed independent 2024 DEF CON 32 artifact with a later 2025 vendor-list recurrence, not an official DEF CON credential, a second DC33 badge, confirmed distribution at either event, a complete electrical design, a licensed source-code archive, or reusable-image rights.
