BSides San Diego
The 2024 Southern California Security BSides edition whose official event archive and post-event Somerset Recon source release document an ESP32-C3 BLE conference badge; the source release says 400 badges were distributed and preserves hardware and firmware material.
San Diego, California · United States · 2024
Somerset Recon's post-event source archive says 400 badges were distributed at BSides San Diego 2024. It documents a custom ESP32-C3 conference board with a Bluetooth LE rock-paper-scissors game, high-level Wargames-themed UART and SAO CTF context, and KiCad, Gerber, BOM, and Arduino-style source material. The README also distinguishes the conference units' earlier firmware from later archived source behavior.
Lifecycle
The README describes the BLE game and high-level Wargames-themed challenge access through UART with SAO context. The catalogue deliberately does not reproduce challenge procedures, values, answers, credentials, or operational details.
Somerset Recon's README says 400 badges were distributed at BSides San Diego 2024 and describes a wireless Bluetooth LE rock-paper-scissors game. The count is a source-archive claim, not a recipient ledger or proof that every attendee had an identical unit.
The reviewed snapshot preserves KiCad, Gerber, BOM, and Arduino-style source material. The README says conference badges used earlier firmware than later source behavior, so the archive is not treated as an exact event-day deployment image.
The commit-pinned BOM identifies the ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4, buttons, red and blue LEDs, switch, display/driver footprints, six-pin SAO connector, 3.3 V regulator, and three 1×AA battery-holder footprints. It does not establish final population, battery wiring, or uniform delivered hardware.
Operational history
The catalogue preserves the source-backed 400-distributed claim and technical tree without turning either into a universal allocation or event-day firmware assertion.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event media, repository photos or renders, screenshots, social-media images, or generated visuals.
The catalogue links to the technical archive as evidence but does not copy its source files or images or infer a reuse license from public access.
