Hardware-hacking LED bypass path
The official page explicitly notes that hacking the hardware to turn all LEDs on would probably also deserve the cool swag.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The official page proves four buttons, four LEDs, challenge flags, and hardware-hacking acknowledgement, but it does not publish component identifiers, schematic, firmware, PCB files, battery details, or production notes.
The catalogue records only the verified badge behavior and avoids inventing electronics beyond the public BBV Badge 2025 source.
No BBV Badge 2025 image is published because the official Wix page and recovered public media have not been paired with complete reuse rights, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying official site media, screenshots, social posts, or generated imagery.
This pass found official BBV page evidence for the badge and CTF leg but no public repository, bill of materials, final challenge writeup, or rights-cleared documentary badge photo.
The record is intentionally compact and should be revisited if Bug Bounty Village publishes post-event technical material.
