BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge

BSides Brisbane 2026's official prospectus offered electronic badge design/build for 500 delegates, Humanitix marked the July 4 event passed while listing conference-badge and VIP special-badge pickup, and public event updates named BLARGE as the electronic-badge supporter. Six days after the event, the `bsidesbrisbane/badge-2026` repository publicly documented the actual 2026 Clock Module: a photographed purple BSides Brisbane board in a 3D-printed case, a simple manually controllable clock generator made from 555 timers and 74LS-series logic, with committed Gerbers, BOM/CPL production data, an STL case file, and an MIT license.

distribution evidence

Event-day badge pickup

BSides Brisbane's event-day public update said check-in was open and told attendees to grab their badge and shirt before the opening. It establishes pickup flow, not a per-unit Clock Module handoff ledger.

Compatibility: BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge; individual recipient scope unconfirmed

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge official README documented

hardware behavior

Free-running, single-step, and halt clock modes

The documented 555/74LS design can free-run at an adjustable rate, single-step with a debounced button, or halt via an external HLT input; an SPDT switch selects the free-running or one-shot path.

Compatibility: +5 V BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module hardware

hardware interface

Buffered CLK and inverted nCLK outputs

The documented discrete 2N7000 output stage provides normal CLK and inverted nCLK outputs for slow digital-logic or teaching experiments, with an LED pulse indication.

Compatibility: BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module; regulated +5 V input

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge post-event prospectus backed

hardware production programme

500-delegate electronic badge programme

The 2026 prospectus offers an Electronic Badge item covering electronic badge design and build for 500 delegates, and BSides Brisbane's public update thanks BLARGE for the electronic badge. The prospectus is not a final recipient or assembly ledger.

Compatibility: BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge; exact allocation and configuration unconfirmed

identity artifact tier

VIP special badge ticket tier

Humanitix ticketing lists standard conference badge inclusion and a limited VIP Edition with a special VIP badge, and the page now marks the event passed. The sources do not map the VIP tier to a different Clock Module configuration.

Compatibility: BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge and separate VIP ticket tier

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge public MIT source; no tag or release

post-event hardware source

Official Clock Module source release

The bsidesbrisbane/badge-2026 repository documents the badge as a manually controllable 555/74LS clock module and publishes Gerbers, BOM/CPL data, a case STL, and an actual board photo after the event.

Compatibility: BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module project; source publication is post-event

Issues & Camp Impact

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge note

image provenance · commit-pinned repository photo and MIT license · licensed original replacement applied

The local BSides Brisbane 2026 image uses the official repository's `hardware/2026badge.jpg` photograph of the populated Clock Module in its case, with the commit-pinned source URL, MIT license basis, BSides Brisbane repository attribution, and processing notes recorded in BadgeImage metadata.

The badge page now has a factual, rights-cleared documentary source photo without using a generated visual, sponsor-page graphic, social-media copy, or approximate reconstruction.

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge note

official hardware source and deployment boundary · post-event repository plus official event sources · source and production files documented; event-unit deployment scope remains open

The public bsidesbrisbane/badge-2026 archive now identifies the actual Clock Module hardware and provides Gerbers, BOM/CPL data, a case STL, and a detailed 555/74LS README. The repository was published six days after the event, has no tag or release, and does not establish a production total, source-to-unit mapping, individual configuration, or whether every event badge matched the photographed board.

The catalogue can document the verified discrete clock module while avoiding claims about universal deployment, event-day source availability, firmware, radio, or an exact recipient ledger.

BSides Brisbane 2026 Clock Module Badge note

prospectus, publication, and allocation boundary · official event sources plus post-event repository · documented caveat

The prospectus describes electronic badge design/build for 500 delegates, ticketing and event updates establish badge pickup, and the later repository documents an event-specific Clock Module. None of those sources maps the prospectus quantity to completed units, distinguishes a physical VIP variant, or proves that the public July 10 source snapshot was the exact design used by every attendee on July 4.

The record combines corroborating event and hardware evidence without converting sponsor wording, later source publication, or one photo into a universal fulfillment or configuration claim.
