BSides Canberra 2018 BUSSide Badge

The BUSSide was the BSides Canberra 2018 electronic badge, issued to 2,000 delegates and documented through official BUSSide pages, CSides talk notes, GitHub Pages documentation, and a public source repository.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

BSides Canberra 2018 BUSSide Badge source-backed

firmware workflow

NodeMCU Arduino firmware path

The public docs use the Arduino IDE, NodeMCU 1.0 board support, 160MHz setting, and espsoftwareserial library before uploading the BUSSide firmware.

hardware tool

BUSSide hardware interface mode

The BUSSide was developed to detect I2C, SPI, UART, and JTAG pinouts, dump I2C EEPROMs and SPI flash, and auto-detect UART settings for an interactive console.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

BSides Canberra 2018 BUSSide Badge note

board-revision caveat · primary docs · documented caveat

The public BUSSide docs say the illustrated v1 board was replaced by a v2 model with the same software but a different physical layout.

The record avoids treating documentation images, pin locations, or layout details as universal across all BUSSide boards.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No local BUSSide image is published because the recovered documentation images have not been paired with explicit reuse rights, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.

The 2018 BUSSide record stays source-backed and image-free rather than copying documentation screenshots or board photos without complete provenance.
