RIT Inn, Henrietta, New York · United States · 2019
The BSidesROC 2019 badge is preserved through the official event archive and badge page, which describe a fully working reprogrammable electronic badge, about 200 assembled units, PCB fallback for attendees without the assembled option, and a best-hacked-badge contest.
Lifecycle
BSidesROC announced a contest for best hacked badge with prizes awarded, tying the reprogrammable badge to on-site modification rather than only event identity.
The official badge page says short lead times limited the assembled run to about 200 badges, while attendees who did not sign up for the assembled option still received a PCB.
The badge page documents two Shitty Add-Ons ports on the top corners of the badge and says the ports had no rotation.
The official page identifies the ATTINY85 pin mapping for SAO data pins and names the Amphenol programming-port and male-connector parts with 1.27 mm pitch.
Operational history
The catalogue records the electronic badge without implying that every attendee received a fully assembled programmed unit.
