Aerospace Village at DEF CON 34

The planned August 6-9, 2026 Aerospace Village edition at DEF CON 34, independently established by the village's official event page. Its current badge record is limited to a public BadgeLife self-submission for the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Cyber Range (ACR) team's winnable SR-71 CTF badge; that self-submission does not establish that Aerospace Village designed, issued, endorsed, or distributed the artifact.

Aerospace Village DC34 SR-71 CTF Badge

The public DEF CON 34 BadgeLife roster contains a new listing submitted as Lockheed Martin - Aeronautics Cyber Range (ACR) for a badge titled SR-71. The named team says the badge is only winnable through a CTF it plans to host at its Aerospace Village booth and on its Discord, and describes a TCG-type card-collection game using NFC peer-to-peer and reader modes. That is concrete first-hand pre-event artifact evidence, while Aerospace Village's official page independently establishes the DEF CON 34 context; neither source publishes the badge's physical construction, NFC-hardware placement, or final distribution.

future technical-source statement

After-con code or firmware availability statement

The public roster says code or firmware will be available after the con, but provides no URL, release date, source license, binary, build instructions, hardware target, flashing method, support channel, or evidence of a completed release.

Compatibility: SR-71 planned DEF CON 34 record; future release is not modeled as current software

NFC TCG card-collection and raffle claim

The team says the badge contains a TCG-type game using NFC peer-to-peer and NFC reader modes, and that a full card collection enters an attendee into a raffle for Lockheed Martin and ACR swag. The listing does not identify whether NFC lives in the badge, cards, phone, or booth hardware; it also omits game rules, card count, persistence, scoring, raffle terms, odds, prizes, or security controls.

Compatibility: SR-71 planned game as publicly described; final implementation and operating rules unreleased

Issues & Camp Impact

Aerospace Village DC34 SR-71 CTF Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · public-roster and official-event media review · needs selected, attributable, cleared original

The reviewed public roster and Aerospace Village event page establish the planned SR-71 listing and event context but do not pair a selected factual badge image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.

SR-71 remains image-free rather than copying roster media, event graphics, social posts, screenshots, stock imagery, or generated approximations.

Aerospace Village DC34 SR-71 CTF Badge note

physical-form, hardware, and NFC-role boundary · public team self-submission · NFC game modes named; artifact construction unreleased

The roster calls SR-71 a badge and says its game uses NFC peer-to-peer and reader modes, but does not identify physical form, PCB, card, wearable, chip, antenna, controller, reader, power source, display, storage, connector, material, dimensions, artwork, production revision, or which device actually supplies NFC functionality.

The record does not infer an electronic PCB, active reader, passive tag, NFC chip model, radio placement, power budget, safety profile, or interoperability from high-level game wording.

pre-event artifact, host association, and credential boundary · public team self-submission plus official Aerospace Village event page · planned independent CTF badge in public roster

A publicly named ACR team submits SR-71 to the BadgeLife roster and states an Aerospace Village booth/Discord CTF plan, while Aerospace Village independently establishes the DEF CON 34 event. Neither source says that Aerospace Village designed, issued, endorsed, or will distribute SR-71; nor do they say it is a DEF CON Human badge, a registration entitlement, an admission credential, or a completed event artifact. The roster team name alone is not treated as proof of corporate authorization.

The catalogue preserves a concrete event-associated BadgeLife listing without converting public self-description into organizer issuance, corporate endorsement, credential authority, or a completed distribution claim.

software, NFC protocol, data, privacy, and security gap · public team self-submission · future code or firmware mentioned; no implementation material linked

The roster says code or firmware will be available after the con, but currently provides no repository or implementation documentation. It does not disclose NFC protocol or payload design, card identifiers, peer/reader behavior, phone or app requirements, backend, accounts, authentication, authorization, cloning resistance, encryption, telemetry, logs, personal-data handling, retention, deletion, privacy notice, threat model, security review, update path, or support policy.

The catalogue presents only the stated NFC game concept, not a defined communications protocol, software release, privacy practice, security guarantee, or safe operating guidance.

Aerospace Village DC34 SR-71 CTF Badge note

winnable CTF, raffle, allocation, and fulfilment boundary · public team self-submission · acquisition and raffle concepts disclosed; operational terms unreleased

The team says SR-71 is only winnable through its CTF and that a full card collection enters a raffle, but does not publish eligibility, entry conditions, required card set, winner count, badge quantity, cost, allocation, prize terms, odds, schedule, handoff, shipping, receipt, refund, replacement, or final fulfilment evidence.

No contest, lottery, acquisition, ownership, prize, or delivery outcome is implied beyond the narrowly stated planned CTF and raffle concepts.
