BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge

An electronic PCB-art conference badge documented by its maker and badge sponsor, Punk Security, for BSides Cheltenham 2023. Punk Security's own dated event listing identifies its June 3 Cheltenham appearance as that year's badge-sponsor engagement, names a talk on building the BSides Delorean badges, and describes them as functional conference badges. The public `bsides-cheltenham-2023-badge` repository calls the artifact the Delorean badge, reports that parts sold for badge completion on the day raised more than £300 for Mind, and preserves EAGLE, Gerber, library, and Arduino firmware material. Its parts list names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, NeoPixel, and 3528 blue LED. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2023 confirmation, venue, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, completed assembly count, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge maker-published historical event listing and public source archive

dated event sponsor and maker relationship

Punk Security badge-sponsor, functional-badge, and maker-talk association

Punk Security's own historical event listing identifies it as BSides Cheltenham's 2023 badge sponsor, says it would talk about building the BSides Delorean badges, and calls them functional conference badges; its public repository identifies the Delorean Badge. This establishes a maker-side event association without claiming organizer confirmation or that every attendee received or completed a unit.

Compatibility: BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge context only; not a general Security BSides credential, organizer confirmation, or admission entitlement

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge maker-reported historical account

event-day community fundraiser context

Source-reported Mind charity fundraiser

The repository says parts to complete the badges were sold on the day and raised more than £300 for Mind. This preserves the narrow maker-reported fundraiser account without claiming an organizer-run campaign, exact purchaser count, exact parts-to-unit mapping, individual donation outcome, completed assembly total, or final badge allocation.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge maker-documented source archive

physical badge design

DeLorean PCB-art form and source-design context

The repository calls the artifact the Delorean badge and preserves EAGLE board/schematic/custom-library and Gerber material. This records source-described PCB-art and design context without claiming that every delivered unit used an identical final board, art revision, manufacturing finish, or assembly quality.

Compatibility: BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge source-design context; no generic hardware or art-reuse claim

source-material archive

Public design and firmware archive

Punk Security's public repository preserves board, schematic, custom library, Gerber, and firmware material. The archive is linked for provenance without presenting it as a licensed derivative-work, manufacturing, flashing, configuration, or safety guide.

Compatibility: Punk Security source archive only; licence, final release, and all-unit parity remain unresolved

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

Mind fundraiser, assembly, participant, and outcome boundary · maker repository description · limited fundraiser account documented; contribution and completion outcome unrecovered

The maker archive says parts to complete badges were sold on the day and raised more than £300 for Mind, but it does not publish an organizer confirmation, campaign terms, payment or donation ledger, purchaser count, parts inventory, unit-to-purchaser mapping, completed assembly count, participant identities, recipient list, final badge distribution, or individual charity outcome. No assembly procedure is reproduced here.

The catalogue retains the source-reported charity context without turning it into a verified fundraising audit, universal attendee experience, exact manufacturing total, completed-badge count, or individual donation claim.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

final hardware, power, and electrical-safety gap · public repository review · design outline and source files public; production and safety result unrecovered

The repository names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, NeoPixel, and 3528 blue LED and preserves board/design material, but reviewed sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, polarity/protection behavior, power budget, runtime, electrical limits, thermal result, assembly quality, manufacturing test plan, certification, compliance, or safe service outcome.

The record preserves a source-backed hardware outline without treating public project material as a fabrication, repair, electrical-safety, or universal final-unit specification.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

firmware release and operating-procedure boundary · public repository review · firmware sketch published; final deployment/support record unrecovered

The source tree includes a firmware sketch and public development references, but reviewed sources do not establish a tagged final release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, build lockfile, deployment inventory, update policy, recovery process, support lifecycle, or safe end-user operating or reconfiguration procedure. No flashing, configuration, connection, or assembly directions are reproduced here.

The catalogue links source evidence without presenting it as a supported, reproducible, current, or safe modification or operation workflow.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

maker-side event provenance, sponsor relationship, allocation, and handoff boundary · Punk Security dated event listing and maker archive · event-associated sponsor badge documented; organizer confirmation and recipient scope unrecovered

Punk Security's timeline dates its BSides Cheltenham badge-sponsor appearance to June 3, 2023, identifies functional Delorean conference badges, and says it would present a badge-building talk; its repository identifies the badge and source material. No organizer-side 2023 recap, venue confirmation, production count, ticket-tier eligibility, role allocation, recipient list, pickup/handoff record, replacement policy, or proof that all attendees received or completed the badge was recovered in this pass.

The catalogue records a source-backed event artifact while keeping maker-side provenance distinct from unrecovered organizer evidence and avoiding a universal allocation claim.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

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

No BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

BSides Cheltenham 2023 Delorean Badge note

source-license, visual-material, and branding scope boundary · GitHub API metadata and repository-tree review · no detected repository license; image rights unresolved

GitHub metadata reports a null detected license for the repository, and no root LICENSE or COPYING file was recovered in the public tree. The public archive does not pair a selected factual badge photo or official render with an image-specific reuse basis, named attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.

Source files and public project material are cited as evidence, but no local image, artwork, source file, or brand asset is copied or treated as licensed for reuse.
