CSIDES 2025

The completed October 3, 2025 community cybersecurity conference at Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare. CSIDES' own sponsor page identifies its completed 2025 event, the organizer's Eventbrite listing records the passed date and venue, and Punk Security's event page identifies it as badge sponsor with a custom infrared-capable badge. Punk Security's post-event Crab Badge source archive documents the event-associated electronic artifact. The sources do not establish a production count, recipient list, individual handoff, final unit configuration, safety validation, device-interaction outcome, or reusable image rights.

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge

A completed CSIDES 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. The organizer's sources and Eventbrite listing establish the October 3 Grand Pier community cybersecurity conference in Weston-super-Mare; Punk Security's own event page calls it the custom badge sponsor and identifies an infrared-capable badge. Its post-event public repository identifies the crab badge, preserves board, schematic, Gerber, firmware, and artwork material, and names an ATtiny1614, buttons, two CR2032 clips, 5050 NeoPixel, trimmer, capacitor, transistor, and 940 nm infrared LEDs. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, electrical-safety result, device-interaction outcome, or reusable image provenance.

Add-ons & Upgrades

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge official sponsor listing and public source archive

event sponsor and maker relationship

Punk Security badge-sponsor event association

Punk Security's own event listing identifies it as CSIDES 2025 badge sponsor, and its public repository identifies the Crab Badge for the event. This establishes a maker/sponsor event association without claiming the event organizer owned the archive or that every attendee received a unit.

Compatibility: CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge only; not a generic CSIDES credential or admission entitlement

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge maker-documented source archive

interactive badge function

Source-described infrared feature

Punk Security's event listing and repository describe an infrared-capable feature and source material. This preserves high-level functionality provenance without publishing use, configuration, targeting, payload, timing, operating, modification, or device-interaction instructions or claims.

Compatibility: CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge context only; not a device-control guide, outcome guarantee, or authorization claim

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge maker-documented source archive

physical badge design

Cyborg-crab PCB form and printed artwork context

The repository calls the artifact a cyborg crab, preserves EAGLE and Gerber material, and describes full-colour printed board artwork. This records source-described physical/art context without claiming that every delivered unit used an identical final board, art revision, assembly quality, or manufacturing finish.

Compatibility: CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge source-design context; no general hardware or art-reuse claim

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge maker-published after event

source-material archive

Public design and firmware archive

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

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

Issues & Camp Impact

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge note

badge-sponsor relationship, allocation, and handoff boundary · official organizer sources, Punk sponsor listing, and maker archive · completed event and sponsor badge documented; recipient scope unrecovered

Organizer sources establish the completed October 3 Grand Pier conference, Punk Security identifies itself as badge sponsor, and its archive identifies the Crab Badge for the event. The reviewed sources do not give a production count, ticket-tier eligibility, role allocation, recipient list, pickup/handoff record, replacement policy, or proof that all conference attendees received the badge.

The catalogue records a completed event-associated electronic badge without turning sponsorship or attendance evidence into a universal allocation claim.

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge note

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

The repository names an ATtiny1614, buttons, two CR2032 clips, 5050 NeoPixel, trimmer, capacitor, transistor, and infrared LEDs 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.

CSIDES 2025 Crab 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 code-lineage 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, authorized-use policy, or safe end-user operating or reconfiguration procedure. No payload, connection, flashing, configuration, target-selection, or modification directions are reproduced here.

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

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge note

infrared feature, authorization, and field-result boundary · Punk Security sponsor listing and maker repository · high-level feature documented; operating outcome and authorization unrecovered

The public sources describe an infrared-capable badge and preserve related source material, but do not establish final emitter configuration, output, range, target compatibility, actual device-interaction results, attendee use, venue authorization, legal or regulatory compliance, safety review, support policy, or final-unit parity. No use, configuration, targeting, payload, timing, or device-interaction directions are reproduced here.

The catalogue makes the event-artifact feature auditable while declining to provide operational guidance or to infer authorized, safe, reliable, or successful use.

CSIDES 2025 Crab Badge note

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

No CSIDES 2025 Crab 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.

CSIDES 2025 Crab 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 repo contains board images and artwork, but neither it nor CSIDES/Punk Security pages 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.
