LVCC West Hall, Las Vegas, Nevada · United States · 2026

DEF CON 34 Badge

DEF CON's official news confirms DEF CON 34 wrapped on August 10, 2026. Its official badge-help page now documents the issued electronic Human badge's post-conference conversion to a hardware security token, current firmware-update path, public source-code links, and the in-conference encrypted-QR light-pattern exchange. The official July 31 reveal names Bunnie Huang as creator and Baochip as the inspectable silicon platform, while the public core-module KiCad archive and `dc34-vault` source provide a specific hardware and software trail. This establishes a completed official badge record without treating later public source as a production ledger or a reusable-image grant.

INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)

INSPECTRON 34 is an independent retro-CRT television-shaped Simple Add-On documented by its maker's post-conference public repository. The project records an RP2040, 16 MB flash, 1.14-inch ST7789V display, CircuitPython, USB-drive GIF loading, a DC34 right-port SAO design, and a completed DEF CON 34 run of about 20 sold boards. The post-conference handoff identifies V5 as the current released firmware. It is not an official DEF CON Human badge or admission credential.

Friend or Foe Badge (DEF CON 34 Packet Hacking Village)

The public Friend or Foe project archive documents a three-board ESP32-S3 badge shown at DEF CON 34 Packet Hacking Village. Its hardware documentation records a 45-badge DEF CON run and the project root describes a wearable, passive RF-awareness platform with an uplink/display controller and dedicated BLE and Wi-Fi scanner boards. Packet Hacking Village's official DEF CON 34 programme independently establishes the completed village setting and the Friend or Foe presentation. These sources establish a completed independent electronic project, not an official DEF CON Human badge, conference-wide handout, admission credential, or recipient ledger.

DC34 CompuNet Badge — Malware Scan Tool 3000

The public `slash128v6/DC34_Cnet_Badge` repository documents a DC34-named electronic kit titled “DC34 CompuNet Badge - Malware Scan Tool 3000.” Its README has a banner reading “Join CompuNet & Critical Start at Defcon!” and lists a PCB, ESP32 Dev Module, round LCD, RFID reader, microSD reader/card, RGB LED, six-pin female SAO header, four-AAA battery holder, 3D-printed stand and slides, RFID sticker tags, plus a separate RGB-LED SAO. The public project tree includes hardware, software, SD-card assets, and a root MIT license. It is therefore a real, independently documented pre-event DEF CON 34-associated kit record, not evidence that DEF CON, CompuNet, or Critical Start authorized, made, issued, sold, or distributed it.

The Shattered Shard (DEF CON 34)

BigDawgDave's public GitHub repository describes itself as the public repository for a DEF CON 34 RM-Cyber challenge badge called The Shattered Shard. Its Player Guide tells participants to use an assigned badge with a charged battery, a local Wi-Fi/browser interaction, a data-capable USB cable, a serial terminal, and one labelled-jumper task. It is enough evidence to preserve a separately named, independently documented pre-event electronic challenge badge, but it does not prove the RM-Cyber relationship, organizer authorization, hardware provenance, sale or giveaway, run size, allocation, physical handoff, completed on-site use, admission function, or a rights-cleared image.

DEF CON 34 Silent Disco Badge

LastZactionHero's public repository is titled DEF CON Silent Disco Badge and documents a wearable electronic badge that plays local DJ mixes, drives a music-linked light show, and syncs badge-to-badge over infrared. Its August 4 maintainer update says the boards were fabricated, assembled, and playing music, and that every badge's QR silkscreen points to the repository. The public archive contains KiCad design and fabrication material, firmware, and a MIT license, sufficient to record a distinct maker-published physical DEF CON 34-associated artifact. No reviewed DEF CON, venue, silent-disco organizer, sales, or handoff source establishes official issuance, a run size, recipient allocation, or completed event distribution.

HRV SSTV Badge (DEF CON 34)

The public `livitup/hrv-sstv-badge` repository describes itself as building an SSTV #badgelife badge for HRV at DEFCON 34. Its commit-pinned source contains a project README, native KiCad board files, and a status document dated March 22, 2026 that still records design and prototype milestones rather than a shipped unit. Ham Radio Village's own page independently confirms its DEF CON 34 event in Las Vegas on August 6-9, 2026, but does not identify or endorse this project. The sources therefore support a publicly documented planned independent electronic-badge project associated with HRV/DEF CON 34, not an HRV- or DEF CON-issued artifact, ticket benefit, access credential, completed unit, allocation, delivery, or rights-cleared image.

DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge

eggsactly's public `DC-34-Countdown-To-Singularity` repository explicitly calls itself KiCad 6 design files for a DEF CON badge that lets users display an estimate for when the AI singularity will occur. Its README names eight seven-segment displays, a real-time clock, front buttons for changing the estimate, a KiCad board tree, an Arduino firmware tree, and a BOM that includes an ATmega328P-PU, PCF8523T, seven 2×3 SAO connectors, three buttons, 9 V input/battery parts, and display/power components. This is a real, independently documented pre-event source project, not proof of an assembled run, a specific final unit, DEF CON authorization, allocation, sale, delivery, credential function, or a rights-cleared image.

Hacker Pager (DEF CON 34 Revision)

A first-hand Exploitee.rs announcement says the team is bringing a new Hacker Pager revision to DEF CON 34, with planned online availability and BadgeLife Village pickup. Its official project site documents an ESP32-S3, Semtech SX1262 LoRa radio, monochrome LCD, microSD, USB-C, rechargeable LiPo power, buttons, speaker, vibration motor, LEDs, and open design sources; its current update page labels firmware 2.7.26.pager as DEF CON 34. Public electronics and case repositories publish KiCad/BOM and mechanical source material under CERN-OHL-S-2.0. This is sufficient evidence for a distinct, independently sold pre-event BadgeLife artifact associated with DEF CON 34, not evidence of DEF CON issuance, authorization, admission, a completed sale, pickup, delivery, final production configuration, or rights-cleared image.

BadgeLife Village Badge (DEF CON 34)

Badge.Life's public archive documents Badgey Bodgerton as the Badgelife Village Badge for DC34 / 2026. Its published guide names an RP2354 microcontroller with integrated flash, eight addressable RGB NeoPixel LEDs, three user buttons, one user-installed 3 mm challenge LED and polarized buzzer, USB-C power, USB CDC serial CLI, UF2 firmware flashing, a single-cell 18650 battery with charging and protection circuitry, two Simple Add-On v2 headers, and an infrared receiver. It also documents a supplied bodge-wire challenge and supplied LED/resistor/buzzer challenge parts. This establishes a distinct, technically documented pre-event BadgeLife village electronic badge, not proof that DEF CON designed, issued, or will distribute it; that it is a Human admission credential; that every participant receives one; that a final badge run, pickup, or delivery occurred; or that any displayed image is cleared for reuse.

Breadbadge (DEF CON 34)

Tw0nkus's live Uberflux listing calls Breadbadge a badge by day and a breadboard-prototyping tool by night. It identifies an RP2354A main MCU, INA3221 I2C voltage/current/power monitor, ST7789 SPI display, six WS2812 RGB LEDs, navigation joystick/back button, UART/UPDI/I2C/5 V/3.3 V/debug breakouts, and a Defcon34 drop. The same current listing displayed $80, five remaining, and four sold. Badge.Life's current DC34 Village schedule independently lists Bread Badge by Tw0nkus in its Friday 1:30 PM badge-drop slot. This is enough evidence for a distinct, independently offered pre-event electronic badge associated with DEF CON 34, not proof that DEF CON issued it, that it is an admission credential, that inventory/payment/fulfillment figures are final, that a drop or handoff occurred, or that marketplace images are cleared for reuse.

Agency Wand (DEF CON 34)

Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing identifies Agency Wand as an independently offered DEF CON 34 iteration of a wand-shaped badge first made for HackSpaceCon 2025. The current listing shows a $60 price, 19 remaining, 11 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It names an ATtiny1616, five reverse-mounted addressable LEDs, ambient/setup LEDs, two buttons, a CR2032, and exposed UART pins, while explicitly saying specifications and functionality may vary as fabrication and development continue. TrueControl's public documentation describes this as the second Wand iteration and publishes more DC34 hardware/firmware context, including a clearly labelled REV1 hardware-issue section. The sources support a distinct pre-event electronic badge record, not completed manufacture or handoff, DEF CON issuance or admission function, final stock/payment status, a universally safe device, final firmware parity, or reusable marketplace/repository images.

Agency SAO Badge V2 (DEF CON 34)

MadmanTimmy3241's public repository describes itself as DEF CON 34 'Agency' SAO badge firmware for a Waveshare RP2040-Zero, and its commit-pinned source header calls the sketch DEF CON 34 "Agency" badge - V2. The public Arduino/C++ tree contains current display, scrolling, button, switch, buzzer, and infrared source paths, while dated first-person commit messages report staged local hardware smoke, display, input, and buzzer testing. The source header simultaneously says handshake, infrared, and logging logic is not wired up yet. This is sufficient to retain a distinct, independent pre-event event-labelled firmware-project record, not proof of a completed board, an event badge run, a compatible SAO, a delivered unit, DEF CON authorization, admission use, or a reusable image.

DEF CON 34 Shitty Add-On (narengogi)

The public narengogi/defcon-34-shitty-add-on repository describes itself only as an SAO for DEF CON 34. Its single commit contains a native KiCad project, board, schematic, Gerber outputs, an archive, and vector artwork; the board source includes DC 34 and narengogi silkscreen text, a 2×3 generic connector, and LED/resistor-labelled source entries. That is enough to preserve an independent, source-only pre-event add-on project whose formal product name is not published. It is not evidence of a fabricated board, a specific SAO version or pinout, working electronics, a compatible host, a DEF CON or BadgeLife relationship, a sale or giveaway, attendee delivery, a credential function, or a reusable image.

OWASP SAO (DEF CON 34)

Punk Security's public repository calls its Arduino sketch "the firmware for the OWASP DefCon 34 SAO." Its final public source snapshot provides an actual `main.ino` rather than an event-labelled name alone: it defines 15 addressable RGB pixel positions, three PTC capacitive-touch nodes, and a README that says the SAO header exposes UPDI for reprogramming. This clears the catalogue threshold for a named, source-published pre-event electronic add-on project. It does not establish a final PCB, microcontroller, power path, exact SAO specification, fabricated unit, approved OWASP or DEF CON relationship, price, allocation, pickup, delivered handoff, credential function, or reusable image rights.

Badge Crown SAO (DEF CON 34)

Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Badge Crown SAO a Crown Shitty Add-On for a conference badge. The current page shows a $10 price, 10 remaining, 20 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It describes a fully assembled SAO with one SAO connector, three flashing red LEDs, and three resistors; its own listing says no soldering, programming, or separate battery is required and tells users only to connect it to a compatible badge. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM village slot. These sources establish a distinct pre-event electronic add-on record, not a documented pinout, voltage/current budget, universal host fit, completed sale or handoff, DEF CON issuance or credential role, or image reuse.

Hacker Boba Badge Kit (DEF CON 34)

Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Hacker Boba a beginner-friendly Hacker Boba PCB Badge Kit. The current page shows a $10 price, 17 remaining, 33 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It lists a Hacker Boba PCB badge, keychain, power switch, CR2032 holder and included CR2032, three flashing RGB LEDs, and three resistors; it says the DIY kit arrives unsoldered, needs basic soldering supplies, has no microcontroller or firmware, and includes a QR code that opens a Google Maps Boba Shop search. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM slot. This supports a distinct pre-event electronic kit record, not a completed sale or assembly, DEF CON issuance or admission role, electrical-safety validation, a hardware-design release, or reusable listing images.

AND!XOR DC34 5N4CK3Y Badge

AND!XOR's source-backed DC34 5N4CK3Y project is an independent DEF CON BadgeLife contest badge with limited philanthropy units and a stated free-badge distribution route through challenges, contests, events, and other convention activity. Its official product page says BENDER hacking challenges and same-day activation instructions are scheduled for the event, but does not yet disclose the board or firmware implementation. It is a pre-event independent record, not the official DEF CON 34 Human badge.

NYC Badge (DEF CON 34)

NYC Badge is an independent, pre-event BadgeLife soldering kit offered through Uberflux's Def Con 34 Badge Pickup. The storefront lists a $60 Original option and, at this August 3 source pass, shows the 20-kit listing as OUT with zero remaining and 20 sold. Its published kit list names a layered PCB build, pre-soldered lights, a pre-flashed ATMEGA328, crystal, passive parts, switches, an AAA holder, and included SAO material. This records a real upcoming small-run hardware listing, not final pickup, completed attendee delivery, or an official DEF CON admission credential.

Cult of Cthulhu Indie DEF CON 34 Badge

Pfarrside Creations' badge-only listing describes the Cult of Cthulhu Indie DEF CON 34 Badge as an ESP32-powered interactive BadgeLife project that turns a DEF CON setting into a Cthulhu summoning ritual. The seller's page names ESP32, USB-C, rechargeable Li-Po power, ten LEDs, a screen, one-button input, badge types, a 13-chapter Ritual, six side-quest challenges, badge-to-badge Séance behavior, and unlockable games. It also states a second-week-of-July US-only shipping schedule with no DEF CON pickup. This is a maker-published independent badge listing, not verified final delivery or an official DEF CON admission credential.

EFF "Electric Fist" BadgeLife (DEF CON 34)

Eventbrite lists EFF "Electric Fist" BadgeLife (DEF CON 34) under H4r0ld & V3rbaal's House Of Hacker Horrors. The listing says its BadgeLife proceeds support Electronic Frontier Foundation's mission to defend digital privacy and online freedom; its FAQ says the project is officially affiliated with EFF but independently organized by H4r0ld and V3rbaal. It calls Electric Fist the pair's third EFF BadgeLife design, offers reruns of two prior designs at checkout, and announces online orders with Demo Labs pickup from 10 AM to noon on Friday and Saturday. This is a source-backed pre-event BadgeLife fundraising offering, not a delivery report, hardware specification, official DEF CON admission credential, or an EFF-designed or EFF-sold product claim.

Shitty Kitty V2 (DEF CON 34)

Uberflux lists Shitty Kitty V2 under the `lipo` maker handle and Uberfoo Heavy Industries, with DEF CON 34 as its only listed drop. At this August 3 source pass, the $75 listing is marked OUT with zero remaining and 15 sold, and says new stock is available for DEF CON 34 pickup. Its maker-published description names dual 0.96-inch color IPS screens, an RP2040 platform, two fully connected 1.69bis SAO ports, USB-C, LiPo power/charging components, five user buttons, a boot button, and SkittyOS features. It also announces new firmware with graphics and puzzles, but provides no release link. This is a documented pre-event restock listing, not proof of final pickup, a completed firmware release, a reproduced engineering archive, or an official DEF CON admission credential.

Spectre Sniffer Badge (DEF CON 34)

NilbinSec's live Uberflux listing identifies the Spectre Sniffer Badge as a limited DEF CON 34 release. At this August 3, 2026 source pass, the $80 listing shows 80 sold and no units remaining. Its maker-published description names a XIAO ESP32S3, a live EMF detector with a real-time spike graph, a randomized-word Spirit Box whose output rate follows the stated EMF signal, a SAO v1.69bis connector with I2C, one included Pac-Man Ghost SAO in one of four colors, a protected 18650 battery and lanyard, and one- and two-player arcade games. The seller says release is pickup only at the BadgeLife Village and announced LVCC locations, with missed drops donated at closing ceremonies. This is a source-backed pre-event independent BadgeLife record, not proof of final handoff, finished firmware, component-level engineering, instrument accuracy, electrical safety, official DEF CON admission status, or reusable-image rights.

Celestial Wayfinder Badge (DEF CON 34)

WyrdWyrks' live Uberflux listing identifies the $150 Celestial Wayfinder Badge as a DEF CON 34 pre-sale. At this August 3, 2026 source pass, the listing shows 5 sold and 95 remaining, with four pickup labels: DC34 Reddit Meetup Wednesday, DC34 Reddit Meetup Thursday, and DEF CON 34 BadgeLife 1 and 2. The maker describes an ESP32-S3, custom four-layer PCB, 128×128 OLED, SX1276 LoRa, GPS, magnetometer/IMU, five Cherry MX-compatible switches, a rotary encoder, 61 WS2812B LEDs, a buzzer, 3D-printed parts, a Li-ion battery, USB-C updating/charging, a LoRa mesh, Wi-Fi geolocation fallback, and a PWA. The public MIT-licensed firmware repository documents v1/v2/v3 platform variants, a 915 MHz SX127x-class LoRa mesh, GPS/status PingMessage data, PlatformIO build paths, RPC, and remote USB/BLE/web configuration; v4.0.0 publishes v3 and v2 binaries. A separate Fusion360/STL CAD repository and web-companion repository are public but have no detected license. This is a source-backed pre-event independent BadgeLife record, not proof of final fulfillment, a final production BOM, radio/regulatory performance, safety certification, universal update compatibility, official DEF CON admission status, or reusable-image rights.

BTV Camera Badge (DEF CON 34 Fundraiser)

Blue Team Village at DEF CON's Eventbrite offer schedules the BTV Camera Badge as a DEF CON 34 fundraiser for August 7-9, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, with in-person village pickup only. It offers an assembled badge and lanyard for $120 or an intermediate-to-advanced soldering kit for $60. The listing says the badge does not take photos; instead, in an appropriate mode, its camera-lens display shows when deauthentication packets are being sent or Flipper Zeros are nearby, and says its brain is an ESP32 board capable of custom software. BTV's public MIT `btv_dc32_badge` archive explicitly describes the artifact as a DEF CON 32 indie badge and preserves its Arduino source, KiCad project, Gerbers, CAD/fabrication files, parts list, and assembly guide. This is a current source-backed fundraiser for a documented DC32-origin design, not evidence of a newly engineered DEF CON 34 hardware revision, completed pickup, final 2026 firmware, radio-detection performance, electrical safety, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Portal Badge (DEF CON 34)

BigFuckingBadge's live DEF CON 34 page calls this year's Portal Badge a 14×14-inch Companion-Cube-shaped, touch-activated badge, marks presale open with limited quantities, and advertises $120 before DEF CON 34 or $150 through hackerwarehouse during the con. A public GitLab hierarchy at `hexum-public-share/bfb/dc34/public/badge/portal-badge` contains separate software, hardware, and sound projects for the same Portal-themed badge. The source names a `ch32fun-portal-badge` firmware project and a `ch32v303-48lqfp-portal-badge` board project; its current software configuration targets a CH32V303CBT6 with PlatformIO and ch32v003fun. The committed firmware defines 85 LED pixels, fourteen active-low inputs, SD-card-backed audio with DAC playback, flash-persisted unlock state, a serial Portal Gun SAO/badge-to-badge protocol, and diode-solder-on detection. Its design document describes standby, Nyan, and a four-level Portal puzzle game built around spheres, portals, fire, and unlockable features. Public commits show software “final code checks” and hardware acrylic SVG work on August 2, 2026. This is a source-backed pre-event independent record, not proof of a completed sale, physical run, event allocation, pickup, official DEF CON credential, final binary, safety validation, third-party-IP permission, or reusable-image rights.

FloridaMan 2026 Badge

FloridaMan Party's official 2026 storefront offers a FloridaMan 2026 Badge for $90, currently marks it out of stock, and tells prospective attendees that it is no longer shipping and to come to DEF CON. The same official storefront calls FloridaMan 2026 the biggest Florida-themed party at DEF CON, says entry is badge-only for venue access, and says each badge unlocks a live hacking challenge with stages and a scoreboard. The official party page schedules the event for Thursday, August 6, 2026, 9:00 PM–1:00 AM PT in Las Vegas, with the location provided upon purchase. This is a source-backed pre-event party-access and challenge artifact, not evidence of an electronic badge, DEF CON's official Human badge, conference registration, completed shipment or handoff, final venue admission rules, released challenge software, or a rights-cleared badge image.

Clip-Boy: The Unofficial DEF CON 34 Electronic Badge

Bryce's official Clip-Boy shop explicitly presents Clip-Boy as an unofficial DEF CON 34 electronic badge: a wrist-mounted ESP32-S3 artifact with maker-described Wi-Fi/Bluetooth analysis tools, deauthentication detection, customizable LEDs, a theremin, collectibles, and a 3D-printed enclosure. Its live public inventory endpoint currently shows the complete first run at zero availability: 86 $120 Standard, 25 $130 Pro, and five $140 RAD badges, while the storefront says all 152 first-run units shipped and is only gauging interest for a possible second run. The seller states units ship in a passive listen-only mode and that a user may load an optional research build with additional capabilities for authorized testing. This is a current source-backed independent badge record, not a claim of official DEF CON affiliation, DEF CON admission, final hardware/BOM, delivered-unit receipt, a universally available research build, safe/legal use in every jurisdiction, or reusable-image rights.

Not Just a Crosswalk SAO (DEF CON 34)

The maker-owned public `keeloi79/not-a-crosswalk-sao` repository explicitly calls Not Just a Crosswalk a Simple Add-On (SAO) project for DEF CON 34. Its README documents a CH32V003 F4P6 RISC-V controller, eighteen side-emitting addressable LEDs, persistent palette/effect settings, two controls, 3.3 V host-badge power stepped to 5 V or a USB-C 5 V input path, and claimed SAO V1.69bis/V2.0 compatibility. The source tree includes documentation, schematics, firmware, build instructions, and a three-part license declaration: CERN-OHL-S v2 hardware, GPLv3 firmware, and CC BY-SA 4.0 documentation/creative works. This is a source-backed planned independent DEF CON 34 add-on, not evidence of a final manufactured run, price, sales channel, quantity, pickup, recipient, host-badge test matrix, electrical-safety validation, official DEF CON affiliation, admission right, or rights-cleared badge image.

Whose Slide Is It Anyway? 10 Year Anniversary Badge

Whose Slide Is It Anyway?'s maker storefront offers a $75 10 Year Anniversary Badge and says it is limited to 100 units. The listing describes an ESP32-C3, 24 RGB LEDs, three pre-programmed sound effects with corresponding light shows, and a silkscreen replication of its Whose Slide gong artwork. Its public Shopify product payload currently marks the only variant unavailable; that is an availability snapshot, not evidence that all 100 were made, sold, shipped, or collected. The maker says buyers may arrange DEF CON pickup this year or shipment by early August. The current public DC34 contest listing describes 2026 as the contest's tenth year, and the public DC34 BadgeLife index separately lists this artifact. This is a source-backed independent pre-event commemorative badge record, not proof of final production, final firmware/board revision, completed charity distribution, official DEF CON affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Darknet-NG SMAO (DEF CON 34) badge image

Darknet-NG SMAO (DEF CON 34)

Darknet-NG's own current badge page identifies the Darknet-NG SMAO as its Level 3 build: a full Meshtastic node in an SAO form factor. The maker's live Uberflux product payload describes a $55 125-unit presale and currently reports 125 sold with zero remaining, no shipping options, and DEF CON 34 contest-booth pickup only; that is a time-specific availability snapshot, not proof of completed manufacture, collection, or delivery. A matching maker-owned, commit-pinned `dcbokonon/darknet-smao` release now publishes the v1.4 KiCad project, fabrication outputs, BOM/placement data, firmware build material, and RF-tuning source, alongside an MIT-licensed official upstream board render. This is a source-backed independent pre-event mesh-radio add-on record, not independent RF/compliance validation, a DEF CON organizer-issued product, conference credential, admission right, or completed fulfillment record.

Monorail Con Badge (DEF CON 34)

Zach's Hacks' live Shopify listing calls the Monorail Con Badge sold out and says preorder customers will receive pickup details by email, while noting there may be a few extras to trade in person. Its current public product payload marks all three purchase options unavailable: a $65 badge-and-SAOs option, a $150 bundle option that adds Dani.pink's separately made Laser* Tag Badge DS, and an $80 voluntary extra-payment option. The listing describes a small monorail on a track, a clip for a paper ticket not included, three SAOs, a speaker/mini-SD sound surface, blinky lights, and a regulated 3.3 V supply from two AAA batteries. The maker explicitly says final versions may vary and that it has no affiliation with the Las Vegas Monorail. This is a source-backed independent pre-event badge record, not evidence of final manufactured specification, fulfilled pickup/trade, included transit fare, common hardware/firmware ownership with the bundled Laser* Tag badge, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Wordweaving Badge (DEF CON 34)

BigTaro's own Wordweaving Badge project page and live Uberflux listing describe an independent DEF CON 34 top-down adventure / CTF badge. The current maker payload shows a $120 100-unit presale with 41 sold, DC34 pickup, and post-con shipping; it also says the badge would be $140 at the maker-described Hacker Warehouse booth during the conference. The maker describes an RP2350 with 4 MB flash, 16 RGB addressable LEDs, a 128×128 grayscale display, rechargeable LiPo via USB-C, and a fully addressable SAO port. It publishes game, CTF, multiplayer, word-building, and optional-component claims, but says hardware documentation and a stub firmware will only be provided after the conference. The project page says 30-plus CTF puzzles while the live listing says 35-plus, so the record preserves a broad maker-described challenge surface rather than resolving the discrepancy. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge, not proof of final hardware/firmware, shipment or pickup, game availability, CTF completion, venue authorization, DEF CON affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

The Beer SAO / BCCC Temperature Badge (DEF CON 34)

The live maker listing for The Beer SAO, the public `aerospace-venoms/BCCC_Temperature_SAO` source tree, and BCCC's own DEF CON 34 page document an independent temperature-measuring Simple Add-On associated with the Beer Chilling Contraption Contest. The marketplace's August 4, 2026 payload shows a $45, 150-unit presale with 28 sold and 122 remaining, two BadgeLife Village pickup slots, and no shipping. It describes a roughly 100 mm beer-cup SAO with a waterproof temperature probe, triple seven-segment display, RP2350 with 2 MB flash, USB-C, and a supplied 180-degree adapter for the upside-down DC34 host ports. The source tree identifies an RP2350A, W25Q16 flash, DS18B20 temperature sensor, RGB-independent brightness control, Pico-SDK firmware, KiCad design files, a versioned UF2, and batch programming/soak-test tooling; it says BCCC winners receive copies while stock lasts. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof of final manufacture, pickup, contest results, host compatibility, temperature accuracy, safety, final firmware, DEF CON organizer endorsement, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Puzzled Hackers LED Badge (DEF CON 34)

Puzzled Hackers' own CTF checkout page calls this a limited-edition LED badge for DEF CON 34 and, in the August 4, 2026 source pass, lists $20 including tax, in-person pickup at the Linq 3535 / Circle Bar on Wednesday August 5 and Thursday August 6 from 7–10 PM PT, no shipping, and exhausted online allocations. A contemporaneous Puzzled Hackers Team announcement says the top 50 CTF participants received free-badge redemption on their accounts, remaining sales were capped to break even, further badges would move to random giveaways after the cap, and collection requires a meetup or arranged DEF CON handoff using an offline QR claim code. It also explicitly says the meetup is free and that an actual DEF CON badge is not required for the first Wednesday gathering. The sources support a real, independently distributed LED badge and a community CTF/meetup context, but not its physical construction, components, firmware, final quantity, free-claim count beyond the stated top 50, delivery, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, admission, or reusable-image rights.

H4irl1n3 M0gg3r5 Zombie Badge (DEF CON 34)

Two contemporaneous project posts authored by the public Reddit account u/zer0patient and signed H4irl1n3 M0gg3r5 describe an independent planned DEF CON 34 Zombie Badge project. The later source explicitly describes two objects using ESP32-S3, IR, NFC, BLE, a buzzer, and a source-described transmission/counter relationship; it also announces a firmware-based, multi-stage CTF and an unreleased backend. It further describes crew-operated live transmission zones, fixed Cure Stations, hidden 3D-printed medkit props, and a separate brain-in-a-jar SAO. The earlier post calls the work the team's first year making badge or badges, says a second variant is part of the experience, and announces intended drop-based distribution. These are source-backed pre-event maker statements about a real planned artifact system, not proof of final manufactured variants, component selection, wireless behavior, game implementation, inventory, drops, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Sneakreaper Limited-Edition Badge (DEF CON 34)

A contemporaneous public r/Defcon post calls this a Sneakreaper limited-edition DEF CON badge and says only 100 would be available at a Sneakreaper Industries booth; the post author later replies with Hall W4 and $150. The same post names an ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 13.56 MHz NFC, and programmable LEDs. Crucially, it says that most listed capabilities will not be ready out of the box: only LED colour/brightness changes, a hidden software CTF or scavenger hunt, and NFC read/write are marked as available on DEF CON day 1. The official DEF CON forum fixes the related conference at the Las Vegas Convention Center on August 6-9, 2026. These sources support a real independently announced pre-event hardware offering with a bounded day-one feature claim, not verified seller identity or Sneakreaper Industries relationship, official booth authorization, completed manufacture, final inventory, sale, handoff, electrical design, firmware release, future functionality, lawful-use assurance, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Station 562 Badge (DEF CON 34)

Station 562 is a source-conservative independent DEF CON 34 badge record from its public maker announcement. The project owner describes a proximity-controlled badge with a BLE number-station puzzle, red-versus-blue proximity game, autonomous social/dance mode, expressive BLE MIDI instrument, tamper-evident mode, Setup menu, and optional hardware CTF. In follow-up comments, the maker reports about 55 units made so far, signed firmware with a distinct key pair per badge, a constrained giveaway/sale plan, and RGB blank boards that omit the OLED, LiPo, and ESP32 module. No public repository, schematic, firmware release, final availability ledger, or reusable-image permission was recovered.

MidWestCoast Badge (DEF CON 34)

Aask42's public MidWestCoastBadge repository identifies an independent MidWestCoast Badge project, labels its firmware as DEF CON 34 badge firmware, and frames it around a MidWestCoast Party / IoT-hacking context. Its commit-pinned firmware README names an ESP32-C3 driving a 240×320 ST7789 IPS panel plus a capacitive touch controller at I2C address 0x15, with swipe-and-tap controls and no buttons. A project MVP note identifies the Arduino/C++ tree as the current implementation. DEF CON's own registration page independently establishes the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas conference context. These sources support a real pre-event independent electronic-badge project associated by its publisher with DEF CON 34, not proof of final physical units, party or event authorization, DEF CON issuance or endorsement, allocation, price, delivery, attendance, admission, deployed firmware, or reusable-image rights.

Cyb3rBytes404 Cyber-Cat Badge (DEF CON 34)

A late-July public r/Defcon post by u/ProfessionalPea2218 says its author has been designing and hand-soldering a small batch of badge PCBs to help launch Cyb3rBytes404, a self-described San Diego nonprofit for free hands-on youth coding and electronics projects. The author says the badges are not for sale and are intended for random giveaway throughout ‘the con.’ Separately, the public Cyb3rBytes404 GitHub repository calls itself the official repository for the cyber coding camp and documents a custom RP2040 cyber-cat badge, MicroPython starter material and challenges, an MPU-6050 motion module, and thirty WS2812 RGB LEDs. Its visible commit history places the reviewed README update on July 28, 2026. The shared project name supports a source-backed pre-event DEF CON 34 association, but it does not establish that the Reddit author controls the GitHub namespace, that every physical PCB matches the repository snapshot, final hardware, the run size, a completed giveaway, or a DEF CON-issued credential.

Volatile Organic Canary SAO (DEF CON 34)

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies the Volatile Organic Canary as a DEF CON 34-drop Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with 11 sold, zero remaining, and a $45 listed price. The product describes an SGP40 VOC sensor plus SHT4x temperature/humidity sensor, a two-character fourteen-segment display, RGB LED, ATtiny1616-S controller, UPDI reprogramming, SAO or included CR2032 power, and a lanyard clip. Its maker explicitly says the device is novelty-only and must not be relied on for accurate air-quality measurements; it also records a ten-minute VOC-index warmup and a v1.0 board-order/remediation plan. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent sensor SAO, not proof of final manufactured hardware, sold orders, safe or accurate air-quality measurement, delivery, host compatibility, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

UPDeeDeeI SAO (DEF CON 34)

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies UPDeeDeeI as a DEF CON 34-drop moth Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with seven sold, zero remaining, and a $35 listed price. The maker says a CH340E USB-to-serial converter supports UPDI programming of compatible ATtiny devices, names an onboard ATtiny814 with two RGB LED eyes, and describes USB-C plus a flexible FPC tongue used as a functional USB cable. It also claims configurable 3.3 V or 5 V UPDI voltage, SAO or included CR2032 power, and v1.1 pre-event corrections including an FPC power fuse. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent programming-tool SAO, not proof of final board revision, safe programming configuration, USB/FPC durability, compatible target coverage, delivery, host compatibility, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Firefly Jar SAO (DEF CON 34)

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies the Firefly Jar as a DEF CON 34-drop Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with 25 sold, zero remaining, and a $25 listed price. The maker describes seven orange reverse-mounted LEDs, an ATtiny824 controller, UPDI reprogramming, vendor commands, and compatibility with Rare Circuit's proposed SAOv3 I2C-based interface. It says the SAO can expose vendor/product IDs, port and command metadata, generic LED controls, and its own lighting modes; the listing also explicitly says it does not support SAOv3 ARP or hot-plugging features. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO, not proof of final host interoperability, full SAOv3 implementation, firmware release, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Root Access SAO (DEF CON 34)

MakeItHackin's live Uberflux listing describes Root Access as a home-milled Tennessee-cedar add-on built for the DEF CON 34 badge and says it also works with a standard six-pin SAO header. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $50 and a seller state of 15 sold from a listed total of 100, with BSides Las Vegas and Linq Circle Bar drop labels. The maker's public RootAccess guide independently identifies an ATtiny1616, ten addressable RGB pixels, eleven discrete LEDs, fifty built-in animations, a physical button, I2C address 0x50, and non-volatile USERROW state. It documents standalone operation and host-controlled lighting over I2C, plus separate GPIO 1 and GPIO 2 circuits that can be used as LED outputs or button inputs. This is a source-backed pre-event independent SAO record, not proof of final manufacture, actual drop handoff, every listed compatibility claim, safe electrical integration, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

HackThePlanet SAO (DEF CON 34)

HogFillet's live Uberflux listing calls this the HackThePlanet SAO for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $24 and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23. A public DEF CON 34 maker self-submission by FakeBobby / HogFillet calls the same linked product HTP Graffiti and gives the same $24 price; the catalogue treats that exact product-URL match as a source-backed alternate listing name, not a second board. The maker describes a 555 timer clocking a ten-bit ripple counter whose outputs drive eight LEDs through the board's graffiti art, with an onboard trimmer controlling the flash rate. It explicitly says the board has no firmware and no I2C handshake, and says a separate button can be connected to the odd or even GPIO line of the DEF CON badge's SAO header. The listing announces Friday and Saturday Badge Life Booth pickup slots, with mailing or refund offered if a stated drop is missed. This is source-backed evidence for a pre-event independent analog SAO, not proof of final delivery, exact components or circuit values, host behavior, electrical safety, optical safety, conference authorization, admission, or reusable-image rights.

MalO SAO (DEF CON 34)

ParallelLogic's Uberflux listing, public MalO_SAO source/design repository, and first-hand Hackaday.io project diary document a planned DEF CON 34 Simple Add-On based on the SCP-1471-A MalO setting. The marketplace's August 4, 2026 snapshot lists $50, 43 sold, and 57 remaining. The repository says the units are intended for online sale and DEF CON 34 handout in August 2026, identifies an RP2350B, 16 MB external flash, 1.5-inch 128 by 128 grayscale OLED, standard six-pin SAO header, USB-C, capacitive touch, potentiometer, buzzer, microphone, hall sensor, IMU, ambient-light sensor, IR transmit/receive, NFC/RFID, and LED banks. Its project diary confirms the work is ongoing and documents early prototype testing. The repository declares the work CC BY-SA 3.0. This is a source-backed pre-event independent badge record, not proof that a final revision has shipped, that all promoted functions are complete, that every radio/sensor interaction is safe or private, that a named third-party lore asset grants image rights, that the project is DEF CON-issued, or that it grants admission.

#NOICE SAO (DEF CON 34)

caelyb's live Uberflux listing describes the #NOICE Simple Add-On as designed for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, eight sold, and 92 remaining, with BadgeLife Village, LineCon, and Queercon Mixer drop labels plus post-DEF-CON CONUS shipping. The listing names sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs, a tactile effect button, persistent last-effect memory, and a stated 2.7–3.7 V input range. It says the board has several fast and slow flashing, heartbeat, and breathing/fade effects, includes a lobster-clasp lanyard, and frames the project around the maker's stated concerns about U.S. immigration enforcement. The maker also says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO record, not verification of the listing's policy statements or donation outcome, final manufacture, electrical safety, host compatibility, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Luna SAO (DEF CON 34)

delphi's live Uberflux listing calls Luna a simple PCB add-on for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $10, six sold, and 44 remaining, with on-site-only DEF CON 34 pickup and tentative Friday/Saturday BadgeLife Village times. The product says each approximately 57 by 50 mm unit is fully assembled and tested, has a standard 2 by 3 SAO header, and lights a yellow LED in Luna's forehead when connected to the DC34 badge; it explicitly says no adapter is needed. The source supports a real planned light-up art SAO and an independent event-acquisition claim, but not its exact LED part, circuitry, power/current behavior, broad host compatibility, final inventory, completed pickup, DEF CON organizer status, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

METROPOLIS AI SAO (DEF CON 34)

coryallegory's live Uberflux listing calls this METROPOLIS AI SAO and says it is inspired by Maria, the art-deco automaton from Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, 20 sold, and ten remaining, with a free Saturday BadgeLife Village pickup label and a pre-order statement for DEF CON 34 or BSidesLV pickup. The maker says each fully assembled unit uses a standard 2 by 3 SAO header and has a red eye that glows when powered through that header. The listing supplies no description of a model, application, controller, firmware, or other artificial-intelligence capability. This is a source-backed pre-event independent LED art SAO record, not evidence of AI software, final manufacture, completed pickup, universal electrical compatibility, use rights in the film inspiration, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

Ouroboros Badge (DEF CON 34)

K Badges' maker-controlled Tindie listing identifies Ouroboros as a $29.99 bare-metal RISC-V-assembly electronic badge on a CH32V003, with a custom UART cryptographic puzzle, a 12-LED Charlieplexed matrix, a circular single-layer PCB with exposed traces, and a hand-soldered two-AA configuration. Its August 4, 2026 storefront snapshot is out of stock; the seller says a new order is coming and hopes to bring some to DEF CON, rather than confirming units, arrival, pickup, or delivery. In a first-person r/Defcon announcement, the maker says they created the project and links the Tindie page and a GitHub technical explainer, while separately offering to arrange a DEF CON pickup by email for Tindie buyers. The product also makes 115200-baud puzzle, cryptographic-framework, low-power, and performance statements, but neither the product nor the maker-linked generic AVR framework establishes a released matching CH32V003 firmware or hardware package. This is a source-backed independent pre-event maker offering, not an official DEF CON badge, registration credential, confirmed fulfillment, verified cryptographic implementation, hardware-safety record, or reusable-image source.

FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)

FirstBuild's official DefCon34-Badge repository describes an Arduino-compatible FirstBuild / GE Appliances washer/dryer badge for DEF CON 34. Its README names a current production target of an STM32G031F8P6 with an MXC6655XA three-axis accelerometer and eight SK6805 side-emitting RGB LEDs, driving an infinity-mirror water effect that follows gravity. The repository publishes firmware, a schematic PDF, an MIT license for software and associated documentation, and a distribution guide that says the project is intended to be distributed as firmware installed on physical badges. A first-person r/Defcon post reviewed on 2026-08-05 says its public-account author is returning with the GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, has another 100 free badges to give away, and plans an unspecified number per day; it calls the item a cartoon UltraFast Washer/Dryer Combo with a motion-responsive infinity mirror. In a comment, the author says the artwork, PCB design, and software were done in-house at FirstBuild. That account statement does not independently establish the author's employment, formal FirstBuild or GE Appliances authority, official booth authorization, final stock, or completed handoff. GitHub still shows no release or tag, and the record remains a separate event-associated pre-event project, not the official DEF CON attendee credential or an image-reuse grant.

CPEC DC34 MechBattle Badge

Cyber Professionals Enthusiast Club's public `DC34-Mech-Badge` repository calls the work the DC 34 MechBattle Badge, describes it as the second iteration of menu and game logic for a CPEC DC34 badge offering, and says it is not final; its GitHub description explicitly calls it a DEFCON 34 Mech Badge by CPEC. A second CPEC repository publishes an in-progress PlatformIO/Arduino game codebase targeted at an Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 no-PSRAM board, with source-level display, Bluetooth Low Energy, QR, and sound surfaces. A third CPEC repository says it contains design files for SAO plug-in modules for the CPEC DC 34 badge; its commit-pinned source tree includes native KiCad project, PCB, and schematic paths with fist, gatling, laser, missile, panel, and sword filenames, an Arduino source file, and BOM/placement artifacts. The linked game-mechanics document is also a draft. These primary sources establish a real independent planned badge and companion-add-on design trail, not final physical hardware, manufactured units, electrical compatibility, availability, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, admission, deployed radio behavior, or reusable-image rights.

Helgatchi Badge (DEF CON 34)

DC801's live Helgatchi product page identifies a $120 portable, rechargeable BLE-beacon and Wi-Fi-access-point scanner/hunter with configurable alerts. It names a XIAO ESP32-S3, 8 MB flash, a 400 mAh 3.7 V LiPo, 1.69-inch 240 by 280 Waveshare LCD, six RGB LEDs, vibration motor, and external SMA-RP 2.4 GHz antenna path. Pips801's public repository contains separate hardware and firmware/UI trees, while the public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies DC801 + 801 Labs' Helgatchi as a new badge associated with the August event. The listing remains an independent seller artifact with planned July pickup/shipping terms—not official DEF CON issuance, a Human badge, admission, confirmed recipient delivery, a fully audited detection device, an open-source license, or a rights-cleared image.

RTV D20 Badge (DEF CON 34)

Red Team Village's own public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists a new badge named RTV D20, says it will be available on site at DEF CON through the village, and gives an $80 price. The Village's official events page places Red Team Village at the Las Vegas Convention Center on August 6-9, 2026. These primary event and self-submission sources are sufficient to seed a planned village-associated artifact, but they do not identify whether the badge is electronic or non-electronic, its physical design, any components, functions, firmware, game, CTF role, quantity, final sale outcome, registration relationship, or reusable-image rights.

MF Doom SAO v2 (DEF CON 34)

Rex's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response labels MF Doom SAO v2 as an update to an existing SAO, marks it Coming soon, and gives a $20 price. The source-named Reddit account u/Truth-Miserable independently posted MF Doom SAO v2, said a limited original run existed the previous year, and said its parts will be surface mounted this time. Later maker comments describe direct-message preorders and planned local handoff near the Las Vegas Convention Center. These public maker statements establish a real planned independent 2026 v2 artifact, not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, completed manufacture or delivery, a documented electrical implementation, firmware/source release, a rights-cleared image, or affiliation with MF DOOM or a rights holder.

DFIU SAO (DEF CON 34)

BigFuckingBadge's live DEF CON 34 page presents a $20 OffensiveSAO around touching Lintile's face to play a "Don't Fuck It Up" cheer track. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies that item as the DFIU SAO from BigFuckingBadge / Hexum064 and links public CH32V003 hardware and firmware repositories. The firmware's PlatformIO target is `genericCH32V003F4U6`; its `main.c` initializes touch ADC support, reads a touch input on PD2, starts sampled audio when the threshold is crossed, and configures a PWM audio path plus D/F/I/U and display LED outputs. The public hardware tree contains a KiCad PCB/schematic, BOM/position files, and Gerbers. Together these sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO associated with DEF CON 34—not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, confirmed handoff, final production revision, safety-tested product, open-source license grant, or rights-cleared image.

IFLFU SAO (DEF CON 34)

BigFuckingBadge's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response calls IFLFU SAO an update to an existing SAO, lists it at $20, and says it illuminates the words "I FUCKING LOVE FUCKING YOU" with the two "FUCKING" illuminations randomized. The same maker's live DEF CON 34 page has an unlabeled $20 OffensiveSAO card about a simple rectangle that sends a message at random; the roster supplies the direct IFLFU name/repository mapping. Hexum064's public `iflfu-v2-pfc161` C source includes PFC161 headers and drives two active-low LED outputs, each with an LFSR-based timing state, while the public hardware repository carries KiCad front/back boards and schematics, BOM/position files, Gerbers, and SAO-spacer models. These sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO update associated with DEF CON 34—not official conference issuance, admission, a fully recovered earlier lineage, completed fulfillment, final production parity, safe/electrically characterized hardware, a source-license grant, or a rights-cleared image.

Portal Gun SAO (DEF CON 34)

BigFuckingBadge's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists a new $20 PORTAL gun SAO and says touching its end changes animated colors and interacts with the PORTAL Badge. The maker's live DEF CON 34 page independently describes a $20 Portal-gun companion with blue, orange/red, and off modes plus interaction with that year's Portal Badge. Hexum064's public `portal-gun-sao-dc33-code` source targets PFC161, defines a four-pixel LED buffer, blue/orange color states, a capacitive-touch threshold, and a touch-triggered state update; the public hardware tree holds KiCad, BOM/position, Gerber, and acrylic files. The source repositories retain `dc33` in their names, so they are an implementation/reuse trail rather than proof of a newly designed or unchanged 2026 production revision. Together the sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO associated with DEF CON 34—not official DEF CON issuance, admission, confirmed fulfillment, a finalized host-compatibility claim, final hardware/firmware parity, third-party-IP permission, a source-license grant, or a rights-cleared image.

Beelzebub Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Beelzebub Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and says DEF CON pickup is only for August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes 24 NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, USB-or-battery power, custom or pre-programmed themes, and an assembled board whose minibadge headers and optional battery holder still require soldering; it also says shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/beelzebub_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates a holder for five minibadges, a 24-LED source layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a filename with `saintcon_2025`, so it is a useful implementation and lineage source, not proof of a completed SAINTCON distribution, an unchanged final 2026 build, final fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.

Krampus Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Krampus Minibadge Holder listing is a $45 offer that displayed sold out in this August 4, 2026 source pass and limits DEF CON pickup to August 6-8 pickup attendees. The maker describes five NeoPixel LEDs, an ATtiny 814, microcontroller development-pin access, USB-or-battery power, and custom or pre-programmed themes; it says minibadge headers and the optional battery holder require soldering and shown minibadges are not included. The public `distinctm1nd/krampus_minibadge_holder` repository corroborates an ATtiny814 holder described as holding six minibadges, a five-LED firmware layout, button-selected theme code, and KiCad/BOM material. Its hardware archive includes a `saintcon_2025` filename, so the tree is an implementation and lineage source—not proof of completed SAINTCON distribution, final 2026 production parity, fulfillment, official DEF CON issuance, a complete source-license grant, or reusable-image rights.

Day of the Dead Turkey v1 (DEF CON 34)

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Day of the Dead Turkey v1 product page listed a currently available $12 kit in this August 4, 2026 source pass. It calls the artifact either an oversize minibadge or a standalone badge that can be pinned to a lanyard; in standalone form it uses a CR2032 battery and has blue-or-yellow LED colors. The maker says it requires soldering and that all components are 1206 or larger, then limits DEF CON pickup to buyers planning collection on August 6-8, 2026. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response separately lists Day of the Dead Turkey v1, v2 as a new $12 badge and calls it a standalone small badge or a Saintcon minibadge. These sources establish a real planned independent light-up kit and current event association—not the exact distinction between v1 and v2, final circuitry or components, completed fulfillment, SAINTCON distribution, official DEF CON issuance or admission, firmware/source/license terms, or a rights-cleared image.

Day of the Dead Turkey v2 (DEF CON 34)

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Day of the Dead Turkey v2 product page listed a currently available $12 kit in this August 4, 2026 source pass. It calls the artifact either an oversize minibadge or a standalone badge that can be pinned to a lanyard; in standalone form it uses a CR2032 battery and has blue-or-yellow LED colors. The maker says it requires soldering and that all components are 1206 or larger, then limits DEF CON pickup to buyers planning collection on August 6-8, 2026. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response separately lists Day of the Dead Turkey v1, v2 as a new $12 badge and calls it a standalone small badge or a Saintcon minibadge. These sources establish a real planned independent light-up kit and current event association—not the exact distinction between v1 and v2, final circuitry or components, completed fulfillment, SAINTCON distribution, official DEF CON issuance or admission, firmware/source/license terms, or a rights-cleared image.

2026 eChallengeCoin (DEF CON 34)

AoSC's 2026 eChallengeCoin page describes a planned limited run of 40 brass electronic coins, framed as gifts for participants in its Choose Your Own Charity initiative rather than items for sale. It describes a Sara and the Missing Artifacts terminal text adventure, three groups of NeoPixels, a small speaker, one large touch pad for CircuitPython, no battery, 46-gram brass construction, and a Micro-USB serial connection; its form says a $100-or-greater youth-STEM-charity donation may receive a 2026 coin by U.S. mail or DEF CON pickup. The same page links the official CircuitPython Bradán Lane STUDIO Coin M0 profile as the build specifically for the eChallengeCoin. That profile identifies an ATSAMD21G1A, 4 MB flash, three RGB-NeoPixel groups, three capacitive touch pads, a speaker, and native USB-C. The linked primary sources therefore document a real planned independent DEF CON 34 electronic artifact while also disagreeing about USB connector type and touch-pad count; this record preserves the conflict rather than resolving it. They do not establish final manufactured-unit parity, confirmed donations or delivery, charity/tax treatment, official DEF CON issuance or admission, game-source licensing, or reusable-image rights.

NilbinSec DC34 Main Badge Fuzzer SAO

NilbinSec's public DC34 Main Badge Fuzzer SAO repository documents a standalone SAO designed to exercise interfaces on the official DEF CON 34 Human badge using information published before the conference. Its README describes three initial modes: GPIO1/GPIO2 stimulation on the left SAO port, an open-drain CPU wake assertion on GPIO4 of the right port, and an I²C-address listening sweep. The repository provides a KiCad schematic, BOM CSV, PCB archive, C firmware, and compiled hex/ELF files. The README explicitly warns that Mode 1 may harm the main badge and says a convention reflash might follow. This is source-backed pre-event independent challenge hardware, not proof of a finished run, sale, giveaway, pickup, compatibility with a final main-badge revision, authorization to probe another badge, official DEF CON issuance or admission, a reusable-image grant, or an explicit software/hardware licence.

NilbinSec Power Glove Re-release SAO (DEF CON 34)

NilbinSec's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies a Power Glove Re-release SAO as a free giveaway: 500 units, with drop announcements on social media and at the Badgelife Village, and a stated plan to post it to NilbinSec GitHub on DEF CON Day 1. The maker's existing DC32 Power Glove SAO repository preserves a historical fabrication/assembly trail—Gerbers plus a bill of materials with two 470-ohm resistors, three flashing RGB LEDs, one cloudy red LED, and a 2×3 shrouded SAO header. It does not publish a 2026-specific repository, firmware, change log, or production record. This is a source-backed planned independent re-release, not proof that the 500 units were made, dropped, received, electrically identical to the DC32 design, officially issued by DEF CON, usable for admission, licensed for reuse, or represented by a rights-cleared image.

NilbinSec PAC-MAN Ghost SAO (DEF CON 34)

NilbinSec's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response names a new PAC MAN Ghost SAO, calls it free, says 1,000 will be given away, and promises social-media and village drops plus a Day-1 GitHub post. A first-party NilbinSec Bluesky reply in its Spectre Sniffer launch thread separately says a purchase includes a PAC-MAN Ghost SAO and helps fund more than 1,500 free SAOs for Vegas. The live Spectre Sniffer listing says it includes one Pac-Man Ghost SAO in one of four colors. Those sources establish a real planned companion SAO and current event association, but they do not establish whether the 1,000 giveaway, purchase-included, and four-color statements describe the same physical revision/variant; an electronic design, connector specification, final artwork, actual drop, GitHub release, official DEF CON issuance/admission, reusable-image permission, or third-party intellectual-property authorization.

Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 (DEF CON 34)

Hak4Kidz Lab's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a new SAO, links a maker video with that exact title, says it can be purchased from Hacker Warehouse at DEF CON, and gives an approximately $35 price. The maker's live Tindie product page also identifies Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a Hak4Kidz Lab electronic badge wearable and a fun blinky add-on. That page says it can attach to a Badgelife-supported SAO 1.69bis connector, describes side-view and shine-down LEDs illuminating the PCB, barrel, and top tracer, and calls the SAO connector a DIY soldering part. It also says the named v2.2 listing was made for DC31 and is a follow-up to a 2019 v1; its coin-cell pin-wear path was still in works. These sources establish a real planned independent current-event sale and a historical same-name product lineage—not completed DEF CON sales, confirmed Hacker Warehouse stock, a final 2026 production/revision mapping, a supplied coin-cell wearable configuration, a complete circuit/firmware archive, official DEF CON issuance or admission, reusable-image permission, or Star Trek rights-holder authorization.

Original Series Tricorder Badge (DEF CON 34)

MakeItHackin's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists a new Original Series Tricorder badge, says it will be available on-site at DEF CON through Hacker Warehouse for approximately $125, and describes it as celebrating 60 years of Star Trek with various sensors. The source field for the current badge is still marked TBD. The same maker's public Tricorder SAO repository, tutorial, and live $30 Tindie listing document a differently named 2025 Tricorder SAO with separate badge-powered and rechargeable-battery forms. Those historical sources establish a related public maker lineage, but they do not map their electronics, LEDs, battery/USB-C details, form factor, price, or distribution to the current $125 Original Series Tricorder badge.

iFixit SAO (DEF CON 34)

NerdFlare's public repository describes a 2026 iFixit Shitty Add On (SAO), while its repository description labels the project an iFixit DEFCON 2026 SAO. The commit-pinned README documents a physical PCB art badge with multiple LED animations, an interactive surface-mount soldering challenge, user-programmable firmware, an ATtiny1604-SS target, PlatformIO/Arduino code, and KiCad design files. A dated July 18 source commit says "Version 0.1 - FINAL: art, code, and PCB. 1000 made for DEFCON34." Those are direct project-publisher statements sufficient to retain a distinct pre-event DEF CON 34 artifact, but not proof of organizer issuance, iFixit corporate publication, event authorization, attendee allocation, actual handoff, admission function, a final unit-by-unit configuration, or reusable-image rights.

DEFCON Furs 2026 Badge

DEFCON Furs' official 2026 site and Hack Your Lives donation-store listing identify a distinct 2026 #badgelife badge for the DEF CON 34 period. The currently sold-out listing describes an assembled badge plus a blank PCB, an RP2040, LoRa radio, NFC, 48 RGB LEDs, MicroPython, touch points, and an SAO 1.69bis interface. It says paid orders will be assembled and shipped by September 30, while blanks were offered for in-person DEF CON pickup. Those are organizer-published preorder and planned-fulfillment statements, not proof that every order shipped, that each unit has the described final configuration, or that a specific recipient collected one.

The hardware guide publishes a board BOM, single-board and panel Gerber jobs, and a battery-cage STL, and says the DEF CON run used a three-radio ESP32-S3 arrangement with external patch antennas. The files are preservation evidence, not a safe construction guide, a current supplier quote, a complete editable design-source release, or final-unit evidence.

DEF CON 34 Silent Disco Badge public repository; no tagged release recovered

maker-published source and firmware trail

Public KiCad, fabrication, MicroPython, and universal-UF2 trail

The repository publishes KiCad/fabrication material, MicroPython-based firmware, a native MP3-decoder path, and a prebuilt universal UF2. This supports a public technical trail, not an audited/reproducible build, signed release, source-to-device mapping, third-party dependency audit, installation instruction, event-installed media package, warranty, support channel, or security review.

Compatibility: Public project archive; matching firmware on every physical board unverified

SAO-spacer model trail

The hardware archive includes several `iflfu-sao-spacer` model-file variants in OBJ, MTL, and 3MF forms. Their presence documents an accessory-design trail, not a shipped spacer, a particular revision, a compatible host, printed-material safety, fit, durability, included accessory, or permission to republish model or image assets.

Celestial Wayfinder Badge (DEF CON 34) public unlicensed CAD documentation

mechanical customization

Interchangeable 3D-printed case accents

The listing says parts are customizable and interchangeable. The Wayfinder-CAD repository describes a one-piece clamshell case, rails/keyway, snap-on accent plates, compliant-mechanism cautions, knobs, Fusion360 source, and STL files. The repository has no detected license and its author warns the CAD is incomplete/complex, so it is a documented trail rather than a blanket redistribution or safety authorization.

Not Just a Crosswalk SAO (DEF CON 34) maker-declared license scope

CERN-OHL-S, GPLv3, and CC BY-SA source-license split

The project's licensing declaration assigns CERN-OHL-S v2 to hardware, GPLv3 to firmware, and CC BY-SA 4.0 to listed documentation and creative works. This supplies a clear technical-source trail, but its itemized scope does not by itself establish a cleared publication basis for each repository photo or a final event-unit configuration.

The distribution guide says physical-badge firmware should map to a permanent GitHub release with source, notices, relinkable objects, hashes, and installation information. The public releases surface had no release or tag on 2026-08-05, so the guide is recorded as a planned compliance path, not evidence of an installed final binary, completed distribution, or production traceability.

It does not map each published storefront image to a tool, a reusable license, attribution, an original/source file, or a processing trail.

No shop artwork, collectible art, static graphic, or media thumbnail is treated as a cleared factual image of the physical badge or copied into the public catalogue.

BLE, Wi-Fi, privacy, detection, and lawful-use boundary · maker feature description only · configurable scan and alert claims; no independent validation recovered

The maker describes background passive scans and alert-triggered active scans for nearby BLE beacons and Wi-Fi APs, configurable identifiers, and examples including cameras or surveillance equipment. Reviewed sources do not publish radio configuration, scan cadence, antenna/range testing, target-list provenance, false-positive/false-negative performance, lawful-use guidance, local radio restrictions, consent model, data collection/retention/export policy, security controls, or independent assessment.

The dossier records the advertised research/detection surface without claiming reliable identification, safety, legal compliance, privacy preservation, target classification, or suitability for surveillance, counter-surveillance, or emergency use.

BLE, proximity, MIDI, puzzle, CTF, and privacy gap · maker-described feature list · interaction claims without public behavior or data documentation

The feature list names BLE proximity, a number-station puzzle, red-versus-blue play, a social/dance mode, MIDI, tamper evidence, and an optional hardware CTF, but does not publish radio settings, range, identifiers, pairing/consent behavior, data collection/retention, player safety, puzzle rules, score handling, CTF target/rules, accessibility, abuse controls, or privacy/security testing.

The record does not claim wireless interoperability, participant tracking behavior, a safe game design, data practices, live puzzle availability, or an authorized security-testing target.

BadgeLife village association, allocation, and DEF CON credential boundary · Badge.Life badge guide and village index · pre-event village badge documented; distribution and credential status unverified

Badge.Life labels the artifact its Badgelife Village Badge for DC34 / 2026 and indexes it in its DEF CON 34 village material. No reviewed source for this record says DEF CON designed, issued, sponsors, or will distribute it; that it is a Human badge, registration entitlement, or admission credential; or who is eligible, how many exist, what it costs, whether it ships, or whether any pickup, delivery, or completed handoff occurred.

The catalogue records a source-documented village electronic badge without representing it as DEF CON's main badge, a guaranteed attendee item, an access credential, or a completed transaction.

CAD, web-companion, and reusable-media licensing boundary · GitHub repository metadata and source review · needs explicit license and media permission

The Fusion360/STL Wayfinder-CAD repository and Wayfinder web-companion repository are publicly visible but GitHub reports no detected license for either. The CAD repository's README includes GitHub user-attachment images, while firmware README images are externally hosted; neither situation establishes reusable media or a blanket license for models, code, documentation, or rendered product assets.

Public source links remain available for inspection without labeling CAD/PWA material as open licensed, copying imagery, or implying a deployed/maintained companion service.

CTF, free-redemption, giveaway, and account-data boundary · first-hand Team announcement · acquisition statements only

The Team identifies a top-50 CTF redemption route and a possible random giveaway after the paid cap, but does not publish final puzzles, rules, score verification, account/QR-data retention, eligibility disputes, identity checks, selection method, inventory split, recipient outcomes, or a claim that CTF software is installed on the LED badge.

The catalogue retains the public community-acquisition context without supplying private account details, challenge content, player data, unsupported redemption mechanics, or badge-software claims.

Call Center Village Telephone Booth SAO host-voltage, current, assembly, and final-build boundary · official project source plus current roster · design and current offer documented; host and fulfillment outcomes unconfirmed

The Call Center Village repository describes a power-only SAO v2 with a 1206 LED and 330 ohm resistor connected from VCC to GND, and frames SAO v2 power as nominally 3.3 V. DEF CON's own DC34 specification instead documents 3.0 V VDD and a 100 mA tested total supply across both SAO ports. The sources do not publish LED electrical characteristics, actual host current, measured brightness, DC34 fit test, reverse-orientation protection, ESD/current protection, kit/pre-soldered population, assembly quality, final production revision, or safety validation.

The catalogue can document the simple published design and its source files without calling the generic SAO v2 description a verified DC34 electrical match, a universal host compatibility result, a safe assembly procedure, or a completed unit/fulfillment record.

DC32 design lineage and 2026 revision boundary · primary organizer listing and MIT archive · current fundraiser tied to an earlier documented design

The 2026 Eventbrite listing offers a BTV Camera Badge, while the linked public technical archive calls its project a DEF CON 32 indie badge. The current list and historical guide both use `ESP23` wording, while the historical parts list identifies an ESP32 board. The reviewed sources do not identify a current 2026 schematic/BOM/PCB revision, manufacturing run, exact firmware commit, build hash, component substitutions, or a definitive mapping from the offered units to the DC32 archive.

The record preserves a justified DC32-source lineage without asserting an undocumented new DC34 board revision, a byte-for-byte 2026 firmware identity, or an error-free production BOM.

DC32-to-2026 re-release revision boundary · current roster name plus historical repository scope · current re-release announced; exact technical lineage unconfirmed

The current roster calls the item a Power Glove Re-release, while the public design repository is explicitly DC32-named and last documents an older fabrication/assembly surface. No reviewed source provides a 2026 project URL, board revision, change log, BOM comparison, gerber release, photo with technical annotation, firmware/release mapping, manufacture record, or statement that 2026 units are mechanically/electrically identical to the older design.

Readers can follow the historical public trail without treating the re-release label as proof of unchanged design, 2026 manufacture, backward compatibility, or a new engineering revision.

DC33-named repository, 2026 revision, and historical-lineage boundary · repository names and current roster association · current DEF CON 34 association evidenced; earlier/revision history not reconstructed

Both public source repositories are named `portal-gun-sao-dc33` while the roster calls the artifact a new DEF CON 34 SAO. This pass did not recover a source-backed DEF CON 33 distribution record, an exact earlier hardware/firmware release, a changelog, a 2026 manufacturing revision, a proof that the public files match final DC34 units, or a historical relationship to each Portal Badge version.

The record can link an especially useful implementation trail without falsely assigning a definitive prior event release, treating a `dc33` repository label as a DC33 artifact record, or claiming that 2026 units are new/unchanged/equivalent to the archived files.

DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker, project, and marketplace sources · independent DEF CON 34-associated maker product

Darknet-NG's own project page, maker profile, and product listing place the SMAO in its DEF CON 34 contest context, and the sources use the phrase official DEF CON build for its stated initial configuration. No reviewed DEF CON organizer source names the SMAO as a conference-issued product, says it is included with registration, grants access, substitutes for a Human badge, confirms organizer support, or independently validates the configuration label.

The catalogue treats the SMAO as an independent contest-associated add-on, not a DEF CON credential, admission artifact, organizer endorsement, or verified conference firmware distribution.

DEF CON, MidWestCoast Party, and credential boundary · maker source plus official DEF CON event context · independent pre-event association only

The repository supplies MidWestCoast Party and DEF CON 34 labels, while DEF CON's registration page independently establishes the conference dates and venue. Neither source says DEF CON designed, issued, endorsed, approved, or will distribute this project; neither identifies a party organizer, party date or venue, permission to operate at the conference, registration inclusion, attendee entitlement, admission role, or access-control use.

The record remains an independently published pre-event project associated by its source with DEF CON 34, not an official conference badge, party credential, organizer program, or access item.

DFIU theme, named-person/show, attribution, and endorsement boundary · maker language and public self-submission only · seller framing recorded; authority and reuse rights unsubstantiated

The maker's card invokes a Hacker Jeopardy vibe, Lintile's face, and the "Don't Fuck It Up" cheer track, while the roster names DFIU. No reviewed source establishes rights-holder permission, an affiliation, endorsement, participant attribution, performer consent, audio/artwork provenance, or image/media reuse authority for those references.

The entry retains the factual seller framing while avoiding an inference that the named person, show, DEF CON, or any performer/rights holder authorized, sponsored, designed, endorsed, or licensed the SAO or its media.

DIY soldering, CR2032, LED, and hardware-safety warning · live maker component and caution wording · kit and basic caution published; assembly and electrical validation unrecovered

The maker says the kit is unsoldered, needs a soldering iron and basic supplies, uses an included CR2032, and is not intended for small children; it says the coin cell should be handled carefully and kept away from children and pets. The source does not establish component polarity/orientation, battery-holder protection, short-circuit/reverse-current behavior, LED current/thermal behavior, soldering quality, supervision requirements, test procedure, battery-life data, compliance, or a safe assembled result.

The record preserves the maker's narrow coin-cell and kit caution without becoming a soldering, battery, child-safety, electrical, or assembly endorsement.

GPIO host behavior, interoperability, and safety boundary · maker-described selectable GPIO paths · behavior depends on the connected host

The maker describes separate GPIO LED-output and button-input options, but does not publish a current/voltage envelope, signal-timing specification, host pin mapping, a DC34 host result, contention protection analysis, switch-state guidance, or tests with other SAO devices. The source's general standard-SAO compatibility claim does not close those gaps.

Readers can identify the intended experimentation surface without assuming every host, GPIO mode, cable, orientation, or shared bus configuration is safe or interoperable.

GPIO stimulation, damage, safety, and consent warning · explicit maker warning plus public implementation · Mode 1 may harm a badge; no safe-use validation published

NilbinSec explicitly warns that Mode 1 may harm the main badge depending on how GPIO pins are configured. The source drives GPIO1/GPIO2 through patterns before sampling them, but does not provide final target specifications, current limits, isolation, protection analysis, electrical test results, safe operating procedure, consent model, or recovery guidance.

The catalogue preserves the warning so the artifact is not mistaken for a harmless universal add-on. Do not infer electrical safety, non-destructive behavior, authorization, warranty coverage, or suitability for an unfamiliar badge.

GitHub, firmware, source, release, and licence gap · planned Day-1 posting versus pre-event public-source review · 2026 publication announced; no archive identified before event

The roster says the PAC MAN Ghost SAO will be released on NilbinSec GitHub on DEF CON Day 1, but the event had not yet begun. No reviewed source exposes a 2026 repository, source code, firmware/binary, build or flashing instructions, release/tag, protocol, configuration, software/hardware/documentation licence, security review, support policy, or warranty.

The catalogue keeps the future-posting statement useful without presenting it as an existing source release, a programmable behavior claim, a reproducible build, or a legal reuse grant.

I2C guide, firmware, source, and licensing gap · public repository root reviewed · operating guide published; implementation archive not identified

The README documents behavior and control traffic, but the reviewed repository root contains only that README and an images directory. No firmware source, release binary, build toolchain, flash procedure, schematic, hardware-design archive, test suite, dependency list, code license, documentation license, or update/recovery policy was identified.

The catalogue links the documented interface without presenting it as an open-source firmware release, reproducible hardware design, or supported integration package.

IR, NFC/RFID, microphone, privacy, and interaction-safety boundary · maker-described communication and sensing claims · no final policy or protocol release identified

The sources describe IR message exchange, NFC/RFID, a microphone, motion/light/environmental sensors, games, and social interactions, but do not publish a final communications protocol, authentication/security model, user consent flow, microphone activation/data behavior, local storage/retention policy, pairing/discovery rules, radio/IR performance limits, accessibility policy, moderation plan, or incident guidance.

The record does not turn a feature list into a privacy guarantee, secure messaging claim, surveillance assurance, or universally suitable interaction model.

I²C address-range and bus-behavior documentation discrepancy · conflicting README and source details · implementation more specific than README; target behavior unresolved

The README says Mode 3 increments through I²C addresses 0x00–0x7F, whereas the current C source sweeps 0x08–0x77 and skips 0x19 and 0x3C. The source calls its listener passive and says it does not ACK, but no final badge-bus trace, target firmware, revision mapping, bus-speed validation, or test evidence was recovered.

The record retains both source statements instead of presenting the README range as an exact implementation or claiming coverage, reliability, safety, or compatibility for a final target I²C bus.

LED, CR2032, soldering, and electrical-safety documentation gap · maker product wording only · high-level light, battery, and kit terms published; engineering details absent

The source names blue/yellow LEDs, CR2032 standalone power, and 1206-or-larger components requiring soldering, but does not disclose the circuit, components, LED current, resistor values, voltage/current limits, battery holder/polarity/protection, runtime, overheating/short-circuit risks, switch, connector/pinout, assembly order, tools, soldering/ESD precautions, test results, user instructions, or compliance evidence.

The record documents a real kit surface without representing it as electrically characterized, risk-free to assemble, safe for every CR2032 setup, or compatible with every minibadge/host.

LED, CR2032, soldering, and electrical-safety documentation gap · maker product wording only · high-level light, battery, and kit terms published; engineering details absent

The source names blue/yellow LEDs, CR2032 standalone power, and 1206-or-larger components requiring soldering, but does not disclose the circuit, components, LED current, resistor values, voltage/current limits, battery holder/polarity/protection, runtime, overheating/short-circuit risks, switch, connector/pinout, assembly order, tools, soldering/ESD precautions, test results, user instructions, or compliance evidence.

The record documents a real kit surface without representing it as electrically characterized, risk-free to assemble, safe for every CR2032 setup, or compatible with every minibadge/host.

LiPo, charging, and kit-assembly safety boundary · current kit list and historical assembly guide · needs final safety and operating documentation

The sources name a 3.7 V / 1,200 mAh LiPo and a board-side LiPo connection/charging circuit. The historical guide cautions against heating or shorting battery wires and says charging requires the switch on. They do not publish the exact current cell/charger/protection configuration, thermal/current test data, replacement procedure, fault behavior, shipping classification, certification, or a final 2026 safety guide.

The catalogue does not turn an assembly guide or parts list into a battery-service procedure, electrical-safety endorsement, charging assurance, or sanctioned modification instruction.

LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE, radio-performance, and privacy boundary · maker listing and MIT firmware repository · technical behavior documented with operational limits unknown

The sources describe an SX127x-class 915 MHz LoRa mesh, GPS/status payloads, Wi-Fi geolocation fallback, and web/USB/BLE RPC configuration. They do not publish an RF certification, final channel/power configuration, range or coexistence testing, message authentication/encryption analysis, Wi-Fi geolocation provider terms, data handling policy, device discovery model, or operational guidance for all jurisdictions.

The record does not represent the badge as a certified radio, private or secure messenger, accurate indoor locator, universally legal deployment, or a performance guarantee.

Micro-USB, USB-C, touch-count, and Coin M0 mapping conflict · conflicting linked primary sources · unresolved source discrepancy

AoSC's eChallengeCoin page says Micro-USB and one large touch pad, while the CircuitPython Coin M0 profile that AoSC links as the eChallengeCoin-specific build says native USB-C and three capacitive touch pads. Both sources mention three NeoPixel groups and a speaker. This pass did not recover a revision note, schematic, product BOM, photo with cleared technical annotation, or maker clarification resolving whether the pages describe the same final 2026 unit, a transitional revision, or differing interface vocabulary.

Readers should not select cables, infer a connector, design touch software, rely on a touch count, or assume final board parity from either page alone.

PAC-MAN theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · source labels only · maker title documented; rights and relationships unsubstantiated

NilbinSec calls the artifact PAC MAN/PAC-MAN Ghost, but reviewed public sources do not establish artwork, name, hardware, or firmware authorship allocation; a licence or permission basis for associated creative material; or affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization from DEF CON or any third-party rights holder associated with the name, character, or arcade theme.

The dossier preserves the maker's terminology while not asserting ownership, franchise relationship, sponsorship, endorsement, authorship, or permission to reuse artwork/photos.

Portal theme, audio, and third-party intellectual-property boundary · public design document and asset tree · needs rights/permission clarification

The source uses Portal-themed names and design concepts, and the sound project includes many audio files. The reviewed repositories do not provide a license or permission analysis for the Portal trademark, related characters/concepts, audio materials, artwork, or any commercial/non-commercial distribution context.

The catalogue describes the maker's published theme at a high level but does not represent the project as officially licensed, authorize reuse of themed art/audio, or make a legal conclusion about the source materials.

Portal theme, third-party IP, attribution, and endorsement boundary · maker language and public self-submission only · seller/self-submission wording recorded; authority and rights unsubstantiated

The roster and maker page use Portal/portal-gun terminology and colors, and the source archive contains Portal-named artwork/design material. No reviewed source establishes permission, license, attribution, affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, or approval from Valve, Portal rights holders, DEF CON, or another person/organization, nor grants reuse rights for the archive's art/media.

The entry retains factual source wording without claiming that a franchise rights holder, DEF CON, or any other party authorized, sponsored, designed, endorsed, licensed, or approved the SAO or its media.

Power Glove theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · source labels only · theme and maker labels documented; rights/relationships unsubstantiated

The maker calls the artifact Power Glove, but reviewed public material does not establish artwork, name, hardware, or firmware authorship allocation; a licence or permission basis for associated creative material; or affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization from DEF CON or any third-party rights holder associated with a Power Glove name or motif.

The dossier preserves the maker's title and event context without asserting ownership, cultural/franchise relationship, sponsorship, endorsement, authorship, or permission to reuse artwork or photos.

Red Team Village association and credential boundary · official Village context plus self-submitted sale statement · village-associated planned badge; credential status not documented

Red Team Village's official page confirms its DEF CON 34 presence and its public roster row announces an on-site RTV D20 sale, but neither source says the badge is issued by DEF CON, included with registration, required for the Village, grants entry, replaces a Human badge, or has a defined official access role.

The catalogue preserves the source-backed Village association without portraying RTV D20 as an official DEF CON credential, admission badge, universal attendee handout, or verified access token.

SAINTCON-named archive, 2026 revision, and historical-lineage boundary · public hardware-tree filename and current maker/roster association · current DEF CON 34 listing evidenced; prior/revision history not reconstructed

The public hardware directory includes `krampus_minibadge_holder_saintcon_2025.zip`, while the current store and roster place Krampus in a DEF CON 34 context. This pass did not recover a source-backed SAINTCON 2025 distribution record, exact historical event link, release date, changelog, 2026 revision record, or proof that the archive exactly matches the current product.

The record preserves a valuable public source trail without treating an archive filename as proof of a prior conference handout or claiming that the current listed unit is new, unchanged, or technically identical to the archived design.

SAINTCON-named archive, 2026 revision, and historical-lineage boundary · public hardware-tree filename and current maker/roster association · current DEF CON 34 listing evidenced; prior/revision history not reconstructed

The public hardware directory includes `beelzebub_expansion_board_saintcon_2025_v2.zip`, while the current store and roster place Beelzebub in a DEF CON 34 context. This pass did not recover a source-backed SAINTCON 2025 distribution record, exact historical event link, release date, changelog, 2026 revision record, or proof that the archive exactly matches the current product.

The record preserves a valuable public source trail without treating an archive filename as proof of a prior conference handout or claiming that the current listed unit is new, unchanged, or technically identical to the archived design.

SAO and companion-artifact compatibility gap · primary maker listing · needs connector and companion documentation

The maker calls out an I2C-equipped SAO v1.69bis connector and one included Pac-Man Ghost SAO, but does not publish pinout, supply voltage, current budget, mechanical dimensions, compatibility list, color allocation, companion electronics/firmware, or test results.

The record does not infer standard-wide interoperability, electrical safety, external-SAO compatibility, or a particular companion SAO configuration from a product-description sentence.

SAO host-power, LED, and hardware-safety specification boundary · live maker component and compatibility wording · high-level add-on surface published; electrical validation unrecovered

The maker lists an SAO connector, three flashing red LEDs, three resistors, fully assembled delivery, no separate battery, and a compatible-host requirement. The source does not establish SAO version/pinout, supply voltage/current, maximum host load, LED/resistor values, flashing circuit, reverse/overcurrent/ESD/short protection, thermal behavior, test procedure, host-badge compatibility matrix, installation forces, manufacturing inspection, compliance, or safe-use result.

The record makes the stated add-on surface discoverable without converting a generic compatibility sentence into a universal electrical, mechanical, or safety guarantee.

SAO orientation, power, current, and host-compatibility boundary · repository README source note · source-reported integration context; full validation absent

The repository points to a source-described upside-down DC34 SAO-port orientation and cites 3.0 V and 100 mA context, with a switch/jumper to invert its own header. It does not supply an authoritative final host specification, connector orientation instructions for every unit, complete current analysis, startup/inrush data, reverse-polarity/ESD protection details, contention analysis, host matrix, or safety testing.

The catalogue preserves a relevant source note without declaring the official badge defective, safe for hot-swapping, or universally compatible.

SAOv3, I2C, host-compatibility, ARP, and hot-plug boundary · maker product page · proposal-level interface with explicit unsupported features

The listing frames SAOv3 as Rare Circuit's proposal over I2C, says the device does not support ARP or hot plugging, and describes general host control capabilities. It does not publish an authoritative final standard, electrical I2C details, command schema, host test matrix, version negotiation, port-detection result, hot-plug safety evidence, ARP alternative, backwards-compatibility policy, or proof that a particular badge implements the interface.

The record does not promote a proposal into a universal standard, treat an advertised feature family as cross-host compatibility, or imply safe hot plugging or ARP support.

Star Trek theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · maker title and product framing only · theme and maker labels documented; rights/relationships unsubstantiated

The maker calls the artifact Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 and says it aims to emulate a Type-2 phaser from Star Trek: The Original Series, but reviewed public sources do not establish artwork, name, hardware, or firmware authorship allocation; a licence or permission basis for associated creative material; or affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization from DEF CON, Hacker Warehouse, or any Star Trek rights holder.

The dossier preserves source-published terminology and creative context without asserting ownership, franchise relationship, sponsorship, endorsement, sole authorship, or permission to reuse artwork, photos, or video.

Star Trek theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · maker title and 60th-anniversary wording only · theme and maker labels documented; rights/relationships unsubstantiated

The maker calls the planned item an Original Series Tricorder badge and frames it as a 60th-anniversary Star Trek celebration, but reviewed public sources do not establish artwork, name, hardware, or firmware authorship allocation; a licence or permission basis for associated creative material; or affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization from DEF CON, Hacker Warehouse, or any Star Trek rights holder.

The dossier preserves source-published terminology and creative context without asserting ownership, franchise relationship, sponsorship, endorsement, sole authorship, or permission to reuse artwork, photos, or video.

VOC measurement, air-quality, and safety boundary · explicit first-party product disclaimer · novelty use only; no accuracy claim

The maker expressly says no claims are made to this device's accuracy and that it must not be relied on for accurate air-quality measurements. It also frames its VOC-index behavior as relative change after warmup. The source does not publish calibration, environmental or chemical cross-sensitivity testing, threshold or exposure guidance, health recommendations, alarm validation, sensor maintenance, certification, or suitability for safety decisions.

The entry does not treat a playful indication or a sensor part number as an air-quality monitor, medical/safety device, exposure warning, or replacement for appropriate ventilation and professional guidance.

advocacy, beneficiary, proceeds, and attribution boundary · maker-published product statement · maker statement not independently verified

The listing expresses the maker's view of DHS and ICE enforcement and says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. It does not provide independent evidence for those policy characterizations, a donation percentage, accounting, recipient confirmation, legal agreement, financial transfer, campaign outcome, or permission to speak for the named organization.

The catalogue can transparently preserve the maker's stated context without recasting it as an independently verified political, legal, charitable, or organizational claim.

allocation and fulfillment boundary · official product page · planned distribution only

The source says philanthropy units are limited and more than 84 percent of badges are planned for free convention distribution, but it does not publish a total production count, exact giveaway count, recipient criteria, event-by-event allocation, final shipping completion, or complete physical variant list. It also says there is no Las Vegas pickup and no international shipping for philanthropy units.

The catalogue does not infer a universal attendee issue, final recipient count, or completed giveaway from the planned distribution model.

analog hardware, power, and GPIO electrical gap · maker-described component-level summary · needs circuit and host testing documentation

The source names a 555 timer, ten-bit counter, LEDs, trimmer, and a host-GPIO button but does not publish a schematic, parts values, power/current limits, header orientation, pin map, shorting path, isolation/protection, debounce behavior, LED electrical characteristics, thermal data, host test matrix, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The record does not treat the product description as a circuit design, electrical integration guide, or safe compatibility guarantee.

artifact form, hardware, connector, and electrical-safety documentation gap · maker names SAO but publishes no specifications · physical companion status documented; technical form unreported

The sources call the object an SAO and mention one of four colors, but do not disclose whether it contains electronics, a microcontroller, LEDs, sensors, a battery, passive circuitry, a standard or non-standard connector, voltage/current requirements, pinout, dimensions, materials, PCB, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, assembly, test data, host compatibility, ESD protection, or safety guidance.

The record preserves a real announced companion artifact without upgrading it into a programmable, electrically safe, standard-compliant, or universally compatible electronic badge.

artifact form, hardware, power, and safety documentation gap · public badge label only · technical and material form undisclosed

The reviewed sources call RTV D20 a Badge but do not identify whether it is electronic, a PCB, a physical credential, a token, a kit, or another identity artifact. They provide no components, board, power/battery/charging path, radio, display, inputs, connectors, dimensions, materials, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, assembly, test data, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The catalogue models a real planned named artifact without inventing its physical or electronic form, operating characteristics, safety profile, or engineering completeness.

assembly and electrical specification gap · primary storefront source · needs assembly and engineering documentation

The listing explains only the broad beginner soldering boundary and says three AAA cells are required. It does not publish the assembly order, header/component placement, connector pinout, rail voltage, battery wiring, current limits, charging behavior, test procedure, safety guidance, or final as-built configuration.

The catalogue does not turn a retail component list into a complete construction, operating, or electrical-safety guide.

battery, EMF, and electrical-safety boundary · primary maker listing · needs technical and safety documentation

The maker names a protected 18650 battery and a live EMF detector, but publishes no cell capacity/identity, charge or protection implementation, current/thermal data, fault behavior, replacement procedure, safety certification, sensor identity, calibration, accuracy, interference behavior, or usage limits.

The catalogue does not turn the seller's protected-battery and EMF language into a safety endorsement, electrical-service guide, calibrated-instrument claim, or paranormal-detection claim.

battery, charging, and modification safety boundary · maker listing, firmware README, and CAD repository · needs final operating and safety documentation

Sources describe a Li-ion/18650 power path, USB-C charging/updating, TP4056 on early revisions, BQ25672 on v3, and 3D-printed mechanical modifications. They do not publish cell identity/capacity for the offered unit, charger settings, protection test results, current/thermal data, replacement procedure, certification, fault behavior, safe printed-material guidance, or a sanctioned modification process.

It does not publish cell make/model, charge-current configuration, temperature thresholds, fault behavior, battery replacement procedure, current limits, safety guidance, certification, or modification instructions.

The record does not convert component names or marketing language into an electrical-safety endorsement, battery-service guide, or safe-modification claim.

battery, power, and SAO host-compatibility gap · official high-level product description · needs technical and safety documentation

The product names two AAA batteries, a regulated 3.3 V supply, and a Sphere SAO claimed to work with upside-down SAO ports, but provides no voltage/current envelope, battery-holder details, power path, polarity/short protection, runtime, thermal data, charging/transport guidance, pinout, electrical test result, or supported-host matrix.

The catalogue preserves the seller's limited power/SAO statements without treating them as safe-use instructions, universal host compatibility, a battery-safety endorsement, or an electrical specification.

battery, power, antenna, radio, and safety documentation gap · maker component-level claims · needs final engineering documentation and testing

Public sources identify a 400 mAh 3.7 V LiPo, XIAO ESP32-S3, LCD, LEDs, vibration motor, and an external 2.4 GHz antenna path, but do not provide charger/protection circuit details, battery vendor/specification, current draw/runtime, USB power behavior, fusing, voltage/current limits, antenna gain/matching, RF emissions/compliance, enclosure/fire/drop testing, environmental limits, user warnings, or safety/compliance evidence.

The record retains source-named components without presenting the badge as electrically complete, radio-compliant, safe to charge/carry, or suitable for every configuration.

challenge, multiplayer, privacy, and behavior boundary · official maker pages · marketing-level behavior only

The project page and listing differ between 30-plus and 35-plus CTF/puzzle wording and make high-level multiplayer/link-up/word-building claims. They do not publish final challenge inventory, spoilers policy, rules, score validation, pairing/transport protocol, range, player-data handling, threat model, privacy/security review, accessibility details, event support, or a stable behavior contract.

The catalogue preserves the game and collaboration claims without inventing a final challenge count, protocol, network/privacy guarantee, completed event experience, or solution material.

challenge-details, participant-data, software-release, support, and license boundary · public Player Guide only · high-level player guide published; complete archive and terms unrecovered

The guide describes a badge-local quest, configurable participant handle, local network settings, saved progress, serial interaction, and reset/recovery concepts, but the reviewed repository exposes no implementation source, firmware/binary, board files, release/tag, license, build/deployment record, challenge-state/data-retention policy, privacy/security review, event terms, vulnerability policy, recovery package, support channel, warranty, or image-reuse grant. The guide itself directs use only of the assigned badge and advertised services.

The catalogue intentionally does not reproduce connection credentials, network or local-service details, flags, hidden resources, challenge hints, serial commands, reset steps, or exploit material; it also does not imply a privacy/security review, safe operational configuration, reproducible build, legal reuse, or ongoing support.

community-event access-rule and final-event-outcome boundary · official DEFCON Furs event-space and meetup schedules · badge-required event-space wording published; implementation and outcome unrecovered

The official Furry Village schedule says DEFCON Furs badge required and lists badge pickup, and the meetup schedule lists pickup sessions. Neither page identifies credential material, visual design, barcode, QR, RFID/NFC access use, account linkage, reader, venue verification process, staff discretion, revocation, personal-data practice, actual operation, or every attendee's completed pickup or entry result.

The catalogue records the published DEFCON Furs event-space boundary without inventing a technical access-control system or a record of individual access.

companion SAO documentation and image-provenance boundary · official BadgeLife companion page and badge guide · companion page is WIP; no cleared badge image selected

Badge.Life's companion DC34 SAO page contains WIP placeholders rather than named final add-ons or a technical compatibility list. Its badge guide shows a front-image link, but no reviewed image is paired with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes. GhostGlitch's name on the companion WIP page is not treated as a main-badge or final-SAO authorship assignment.

No unverified SAO is added and no Badge.Life image is copied into the public catalogue; the record remains source-useful while awaiting completed add-on and image-rights evidence.

companion SAO scope, interface, fabrication, and compatibility boundary · commit-pinned CPEC companion source · design archive published; interface and physical result unverified

The CPEC companion source labels itself as SAO plug-in modules for the CPEC DC 34 badge and contains native design files, but does not identify an SAO version, pinout, voltage/current envelope, connector/power behavior, address/protocol, host-detection method, mechanical dimensions/fit, controller population, component substitutions, validation process, fabricated quantity, assembly status, or an actual compatible host badge. Its BOM and placement files are preparation artifacts, not proof of an order or completed build.

The catalogue keeps the files attached to the MechBattle record as a source-published companion design trail without representing them as a plug-and-play accessory, a safe wiring or flashing guide, a completed add-on lineup, or a distributed DEF CON artifact.

creative reference, rights, and image-provenance boundary · maker names a film inspiration · specific artifact and per-asset rights not established

The listing names Maria from Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis as inspiration but does not publish the art source, design license, film/reference rights analysis, per-asset attribution trail, or a selected reusable badge image. This record does not attempt to resolve the legal status of the film or rely on it as an image-reuse basis.

The catalogue preserves the maker's stated creative reference without republishing related art or inferring a license for the product image, board art, or source material.

current badge and historical Tricorder SAO identity boundary · same-maker but separately named product sources · related maker lineage documented; hardware and distribution parity unconfirmed

The roster names an approximately $125 Original Series Tricorder badge featuring various sensors, while current MakeItHackin public product materials describe a separate $30 Tricorder SAO with rechargeable-battery and badge-powered forms. No reviewed source publishes a common revision, bill of materials, board layout, sensor suite, controller, behavior, packaging, price, allocation, or explicit statement that the current badge contains or derives from that historical SAO.

Readers can follow the useful same-maker historical context without treating it as an undocumented specification for the new DEF CON 34 badge.

current marketplace availability, BadgeLife drop, and credential boundary · live maker listing and current BadgeLife schedule · $10 / 10-remaining / 20-sold snapshot and August 7 4 PM drop published

The listing showed $10, 10 remaining, 20 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and an August 7 BadgeLife Village drop; Badge.Life schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs at Friday 4 PM. Neither source establishes payment records, final inventory, run size, exact Badge Crown allocation, completed manufacture, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event availability. Nor does either source say DEF CON designed, issued, sponsors, or will distribute it; that it is included with registration; or that it grants admission, replaces a Human badge, or is a universal attendee benefit.

The catalogue retains a time-specific independent maker offer and village context without treating it as an official credential, guaranteed handoff, or completed transaction.

current marketplace availability, BadgeLife drop, and credential boundary · live maker listing and current BadgeLife schedule · $10 / 17-remaining / 33-sold snapshot and August 7 4 PM drop published

The listing showed $10, 17 remaining, 33 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and an August 7 BadgeLife Village drop; Badge.Life schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs at Friday 4 PM. Neither source establishes payment records, final inventory, run size, exact Hacker Boba allocation, completed manufacture, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event availability. Nor does either source say DEF CON designed, issued, sponsors, or will distribute it; that it is included with registration; or that it grants admission, replaces a Human badge, or is a universal attendee benefit.

The catalogue retains a time-specific independent maker offer and village context without treating it as an official credential, guaranteed handoff, or completed transaction.

current marketplace availability, BadgeLife drop, and fulfillment boundary · live maker listing and current BadgeLife schedule · $60 / 19-remaining / 11-sold snapshot and August 7 4 PM drop published

The live listing showed $60, 19 remaining, 11 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village August 7 4 PM drop; Badge.Life lists Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the Friday 4 PM village schedule. Neither source establishes payment records, final inventory, run size, exact product allocation at the schedule slot, event authorization, completed manufacture, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event availability.

The catalogue preserves a time-specific independent-maker listing and schedule association without turning it into a fulfillment report, guaranteed handoff, or completed transaction.

current marketplace availability, DC34 drop, and fulfillment boundary · live maker listing and current BadgeLife schedule · $80 / five-remaining / four-sold snapshot and planned schedule published

The live listing showed $80, five remaining, four sold, and a Defcon34 drop, while Badge.Life schedules Bread Badge by Tw0nkus in a Friday 1:30 PM slot. Neither source establishes payment records, final inventory, run size, exact location, event authorization, expected handoff mechanics, completed manufacture, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event availability.

The catalogue preserves a time-specific maker listing and schedule association without turning it into a fulfillment report or guaranteed handoff.

current-event and historical-revision identity boundary · same-name sources with no formal 2026 mapping · same title and maker/product linkage; exact 2026 parity unconfirmed

The roster and 2026 maker video use the exact Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 name, while the live product listing says v2.2 was made for DC31 and follows a 2019 v1. No reviewed source publishes a 2026 BOM, board revision, production label, serial range, change log, component/finish/packaging comparison, or explicit statement that the planned DEF CON 34 units are identical to the older product listing.

Readers can trace the useful v1/DC31 history without assuming the current planned sale is a newly engineered board, an unchanged old run, or a fully mapped revision.

design, firmware, and license archive gap · primary storefront and maker-profile sources · needs public archive or terms

The public listing provides a component-level kit description but no schematic, BOM, Gerbers, board source, firmware repository or binary, flashing guide, protocol description, hardware license, software license, or documentation license.

The record can describe the listed components and pre-flashed-controller statement without claiming reproducible hardware, inspectable firmware, update support, or reusable design files.

detection, privacy, security, software-release, and operational-use boundary · maker repository documentation · high-level RF and software behavior documented; validation and operating terms unrecovered

The public project describes passive BLE/Wi-Fi/Remote ID-oriented awareness, Android-over-USB-C controls, and published source/version labels, but reviewed sources do not establish detection accuracy, false-positive/false-negative rates, target identification, range, location accuracy, lawful deployment, notice/consent, data-minimization or retention terms, authentication, encryption, threat model, security review, release-to-unit firmware mapping, recovery support, or a final event firmware manifest.

The record avoids converting a project description into surveillance guidance, an identification claim, a privacy/security assurance, a supported update process, or a guarantee of behavior on any deployed badge.

documentation, circuit archive, and licensing gap · reviewed first-party listing only · no technical archive identified

The maker intentionally says there is no firmware or I2C handshake, and the reviewed source does not provide a schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, assembly guide, component datasheets, circuit license, documentation license, test procedure, host example, or final revision record.

The entry is a narrow source-backed analog-artifact record, not a reproducible open-hardware or software dossier.

documentation, source-license, and support boundary · live maker listing and current public-source review · product description published; design/source/support terms unrecovered

The listing says no programming is required and points to a website printed on the add-on, but the reviewed product trail does not publish a schematic, PCB/Gerber/BOM source, component specifications, effect-circuit explanation, software source, formal version history, source license, warranty, support process, repair path, or vulnerability/safety policy.

The catalogue retains the maker's concrete sales description without claiming a reproducible design, supported repair path, open-source release, or lifetime product maintenance.

documented DC34 REV1 power, accelerometer, and hardware-revision warning · public TrueControl DC34 README · source labels critical REV1 issues; field-correction and event outcome unrecovered

The public DC34 REV1 section labels a Q1-related power problem critical: enabling the gate can pull the 3.0 V rail low enough to brown out or glitch the MCU. It separately labels LED-program-related voltage fluctuations critical for accelerometer interrupt accuracy and says motion-wake animations should be disabled; it also identifies a floating accelerometer SDO design-improvement concern. The source contains its own workaround discussion, but this catalogue neither reproduces modification directions nor asserts that any revision, retail unit, or participant resolved the stated problems.

Readers can see the source-published REV1 limitation without receiving an unsafe repair prescription or an unsupported claim about a later board revision, battery behavior, accelerometer reliability, or field fix.

donation proof, privacy, tax, and charity-verification scope · public form fields and organizer wording · collection flow published; policies not recovered

The form asks for contact information and an uploaded donation receipt/confirmation that can show amount, charity name/address, and identifying information, but reviewed sources do not publish a privacy notice, controller/contact policy, retention/deletion period, storage/security safeguards, data-sharing terms, age/minor policy, tax-deductibility statement, nonprofit-status standard, charitable solicitation registration, verification method, receipt policy, or dispute process.

Readers can distinguish the organizer's philanthropic request from financial, tax, legal, privacy, or data-security advice and should not assume a particular validation, deduction, confidentiality, retention, or delivery outcome.

draft code and physical-artifact boundary · primary CPEC repositories · planned project and companion design sources; physical artifacts unverified

CPEC's first repository explicitly says its code is not final, while the second is an active in-progress game repository. The third, scoped companion repository provides KiCad, BOM, and placement source assets, but no reviewed source supplies a provenance-backed photograph of a completed MechBattle or companion unit, a physical prototype account, manufacturing/order evidence, serial/revision log, assembly/test record, final hardware population, or completed event-unit confirmation.

The catalogue records a real named planned badge project and a source-published companion design trail, but does not turn source files into proof of physical, safe, completed, or distributed hardware artifacts.

draft game-design and media-rights boundary · source-linked draft document and local image-policy review · creative context only; no reusable media basis

The source-linked game document is a draft creative reference and the badge, game, and companion repositories contain code and media assets, but none pairs a selected factual physical-badge or companion image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, named attribution, source URL, and processing notes. The sources also do not establish final game content or third-party rights.

The record remains image-free and does not reproduce draft lore, repository previews, screenshots, logos, board renders, or any generated/approximate badge image.

engineering archive, pinout, and compliance gap · primary maker storefront source · needs public engineering documentation

The listing presents detailed components and calls its SAO ports 1.69bis-compliant, but does not publish a schematic, BOM, Gerbers, board layout, connector pinout, display part identification, power-tree detail, rail/current test data, SAO test report, or standards-compliance evidence.

The catalogue retains precise maker-published components without treating a storefront specification as a fully reproducible design or universal SAO compatibility guarantee.

event association, availability, and credential boundary · CPEC repository wording and official DEF CON event context · independent association; allocation and authorization unconfirmed

CPEC's repository description uses DEFCON 34 and the source names a CPEC DC34 offering, but no reviewed CPEC or DEF CON source establishes a sales/giveaway plan, quantity, price, recipient eligibility, pickup, shipping, completed handoff, venue approval, sponsorship, organizer role, Human-badge status, or admission function.

The badge is classified as an independent planned project associated with DEF CON 34, not an official conference badge, registration benefit, access credential, organizer-endorsed product, or confirmed distribution.

event association, distribution, and credential boundary · repository's DEF CON 34 description and official DEF CON event context · independent pre-event source project; authorization and handoff unrecovered

The repository description says SAO for defcon 34 and the source board includes DC 34 text, while DEF CON's registration page provides event context. No reviewed DEF CON, BadgeLife, village, marketplace, maker announcement, or distribution source identifies an authorized relationship, price, stock, fabrication, sale, giveaway, pickup, shipping, recipient, attendee handoff, official role, or admission function.

The catalogue preserves the exact public event label without presenting this small source project as an official DEF CON item, a confirmed BadgeLife artifact, a completed delivery, or an access credential.

event association, distribution, and credential boundary · repository's exact DEF CON label and official DEF CON event context · independent pre-event source project; official relationship and handoff unrecovered

The project README calls its sketch firmware for the OWASP DefCon 34 SAO, while DEF CON's official registration page establishes the event setting. No reviewed OWASP, DEF CON, BadgeLife, village, marketplace, maker announcement, manufacturing, sales, or delivery source confirms authorization, production, price, stock, recipient eligibility, pickup, shipping, attendee handoff, organizer role, Human-badge status, or admission function.

The exact public event label remains discoverable without turning it into evidence of OWASP or DEF CON endorsement, a physical run, availability, a completed delivery, or a credential.

event association, distribution, credential, and Agency-lineage boundary · repository's exact DEF CON 34 label and official DEF CON event context · independent pre-event source project; authorization, distribution, and shared lineage unrecovered

The repository description and source header explicitly use DEF CON 34 / Agency wording, while DEF CON's registration page provides calendar and venue context. No reviewed event, village, vendor, maker, or distribution source says this project is authorized, sold, given away, fabricated, handed to attendees, part of registration, or an admission credential. No reviewed source connects it to the separately documented ATtiny1616 Agency Wand (DEF CON 34) maker line, so the records remain distinct.

The catalogue preserves an exact event label without inventing official status, availability, ownership, attendee access, or a relationship to another Agency-themed record.

explicit message, authorship, content, and endorsement boundary · maker language and public self-submission only · seller/self-submission wording recorded; authority and content rights unsubstantiated

The public roster supplies an explicit phrase and describes randomized illumination of two words; the maker page characterizes an unlabeled card as romantic and raunchy. No reviewed source identifies the artwork/message author, rights holder, intended audience, content rating, venue suitability, recipient consent, permission for the phrase/artwork, or authorization, affiliation, or endorsement from DEF CON or another person/organization.

The entry preserves factual source language without claiming that any named/unnamed party authored, approved, sponsored, designed, endorsed, licensed, or consented to the message, artwork, or presentation.

fast-flash photosensitivity and optical-safety boundary · maker describes fast visual patterns · no reviewed optical-safety guidance identified

The listing says the effects include fast flashing patterns but does not define frequency, brightness/current, duty cycle, a user warning, photosensitivity guidance, accessibility option, or optical-safety test evidence.

The catalogue records the stated visual effects without presenting them as safe or suitable for every viewer.

fast-flash photosensitivity and optical-safety boundary · maker describes a wide flash-rate trimmer · no reviewed optical-safety guidance identified

The listing says the trimmer can move the LEDs from a slow pulse to a very fast strobe-like rate, but gives no defined frequency range, brightness/current values, user warning, photosensitivity guidance, accessibility option, test data, or optical-safety evidence.

The catalogue records the stated visual control without presenting fast flashing as safe, suitable for every viewer, or a substitute for appropriate user caution.

final component, standards, firmware-release, and support scope · public repository documentation · needs final release confirmation

The README's overview and feature list use different LED labels, while the repository does not identify a tagged production firmware, flashed-unit hash, final BOM/revision, standards conformance report, host test matrix, support path, update/recovery process, or distributed-unit configuration.

The catalogue preserves the documented architecture and declared licenses without asserting a particular part population, full standard conformance, reproducible attendee firmware, or a final supported release.

final hardware, schematic, manufacturing, and configuration gap · public README and schematic source · current production target and schematic published; final build not confirmed

The README names a current production target and the repository publishes a schematic PDF, while retaining a different KB2040 prototype profile. Reviewed sources do not provide a final hardware revision, native CAD project, complete BOM, PCB/fabrication package, sourced component list, enclosure, battery/power design, board measurement, production record, factory result, per-unit configuration, or confirmation that the named target was built.

Hardware claims stay tied to public source targets and documentation rather than becoming a final board specification, manufacturing result, complete build recipe, or evidence that any given unit contains a specific component set.

final revision and engineering archive gap · official product description · maker says final version may vary

The maker says final versions may have minor variations while expecting the main components to remain. No reviewed source publishes a final board/SAO revision, schematic, PCB/Gerbers, BOM, component identifiers, dimensions, materials, assembly guide, test report, certification, or manufacturing evidence.

The dossier keeps the stated feature set intentionally narrow and does not promote it into a final reproducible engineering design or a manufacturing-quality claim.

firmware binary, compatibility, and update-scope boundary · public source and commit history · no tagged release identified

The latest public firmware commit is titled “final code checks,” but the reviewed project provides no tagged release, signed/final binary, flash procedure, source revision declaration for event units, test/CI result, media-image provisioning method, rollback/recovery plan, hardware-variant compatibility matrix, or support lifecycle.

Source-level game and interface behavior remains discoverable without labeling the branch as a final, universally flashable, supported event firmware package.

firmware release and licensing gap · primary maker storefront and profile sources · awaiting announced firmware release

The product says new firmware with graphics and puzzles will be released and describes SkittyOS features, but it links no source repository, binary, versioned release, flashing workflow, build instructions, puzzle material, protocol documentation, or software/hardware/documentation license.

The record can describe the maker's announced feature surface without claiming a released, reproducible, inspectable, or reusable firmware archive.

firmware release, bootloader, source-license, support, and image-rights boundary · public README and repository-tree review · firmware directory and instructions published; release/license/support terms unrecovered

The README describes an Arduino firmware directory and an initial AVR bootloader path, while the reviewed repository exposes no explicit root license, release/tag, final binary, version-to-board mapping, build/dependency lock, verified programmer/fuse package, update/recovery image, security review, vulnerability policy, support channel, warranty, or cleared badge artwork/photo. The board-art area is not treated as image-reuse permission.

The catalogue can link the source project without turning development instructions into a recommendation to program hardware, treating visible files as a final/reproducible deployment, claiming legal reuse, or publishing a repository visual without complete image provenance.

firmware release, code license, network, and data boundary · public source snapshot and MVP note · current source exists; release, deployment, and operational terms unverified

The project publishes source and describes it as current implementation, but the reviewed snapshot does not establish a tagged final release, compiled attendee image, device-specific configuration, reproducible build result, flashing/recovery path, dependency inventory, source license, security review, operational deployment, account/data handling, privacy notice, retention policy, update policy, or support commitment.

The catalogue links public project material without treating source visibility as a completed firmware release, security guarantee, network/data practice, or reusable code grant.

firmware release, configuration, and licensing boundary · commit-pinned maker firmware and license documentation · versioned maker release published; delivered-unit state unverified

The repository supplies a versioned UF2, build notes, configuration delta, provisioning tools, tests, and MIT license text for its original hardware/documentation/tools while identifying the included Meshtastic firmware image as GPL-3.0-derived. It does not establish that every offered or collected unit has that exact image/PIN/configuration, provide an independent build audit, guarantee future upstream compatibility, or provide a post-event support, rollback, or recovery commitment.

The dossier records a concrete source release without asserting source-to-sale identity for every unit, a complete dependency/security audit, a warranty, or a safe user update path.

firmware release, dependency, and update-scope boundary · MIT repository and v4.0.0 release · public source and partial binary coverage

The MIT application repository depends on a side-by-side local `esp32-utilities` checkout, and its README's stated version-config value differs from the later public v4.0.0 release. That release publishes v3 and v2 binaries only. The reviewed sources do not establish a final shipped firmware hash, v1 v4 binary, rollback/recovery process, production provisioning, upgrade support guarantee, or compatibility of release assets with every offered unit.

The catalogue can link the MIT source and named binaries without treating them as a universal, final, supported field-update package.

firmware release, deployed-revision, and support boundary · repository and license · public source exists; delivered-unit scope unverified

The repository documents source, a `thermometer-v1.1.0.uf2` file, and manufacturing tools under WTFPL v2, but does not provide a signed/hash-verified marketplace release, exact build provenance for every event unit, dependency-license audit, release/support policy, changelog-to-hardware mapping, security review, recovery guarantee, or field-test result. Its note that firmware was developed with Claude is source provenance, not an independent quality or authorship assessment.

The record links the public workflow without representing it as a final reproducible, supported, audited, or universally deployed firmware release.

firmware release, license, and operating-procedure boundary · repository metadata, root-tree, README, and source review · source snapshot published; tagged release, explicit licence, and supported workflow unrecovered

The repository exposes a README, `main.ino`, and a front-image asset, but no root license file or GitHub-detected repository license was recovered. The reviewed source does not establish a tag or release, binary, complete toolchain/configuration, reproducible build, source-to-unit mapping, signed update, safe UPDI workflow, recovery package, security review, privacy statement, support policy, warranty, or final installed effect set.

The public code is linked as evidence without being presented as licensed, supported, reproducible, safe to reprogram, or equivalent to a delivered event firmware image.

firmware release, toolchain, dependencies, and software-license gap · repository and diary describe evolving work · implementation materials exist; final user release not identified

The sources discuss a compiled C library, Arduino IDE material, an evolving Python/C++ split, graphics/file-system/sensor work, games, puzzles, and USB-C modification, but do not provide a tagged final firmware release, stable installation guide, complete build environment, dependency inventory, update/recovery path, release integrity, formal test result, final game content, or a separate software license. The repository's CC BY-SA statement is not treated as a resolved license for every code dependency.

The dossier links the public work without presenting it as a finished end-user firmware or support package.

firmware release, update, support, and licence gap · public source-tree review · source and compiled artifacts visible; explicit release/licence/support terms absent

The repository exposes C source plus tracked hex/ELF files and describes a possible convention reflash, but the reviewed root has no explicit LICENSE/COPYING file, release/tag, checksum, version-to-board mapping, fuse map, programmer package, update image, recovery path, dependency lock, security review, vulnerability policy, support policy, or warranty. The README's build outline does not itself grant reuse rights or establish a supported update path.

The catalogue can link the implementation without presenting it as licensed open hardware/software, a stable release, a reproducible final build, a safe reflashing process, or an ongoing support commitment.

firmware, CTF, gameplay, source, and licensing gap · no artifact-level technical source recovered · no implementation or interaction documentation located

No reviewed source says RTV D20 has firmware, software, a repository, binary, website, CTF challenge, game mechanic, D20 interaction, workshop use, update/recovery path, source code, license, security review, user-data behavior, or accessibility information. The Village's broader CTF/program descriptions are not attributed to this badge.

Readers are not led to assume that the D20 name denotes an electronic game, an access pass, a CTF device, or any documented implementation.

firmware, CTF, protocol, backend, and licensing gap · team-announced software claim · no public technical release identified

The source says the CTF lives in firmware and invokes real protocols plus a gated backend, but no reviewed material publishes firmware, source code, binary, challenge inventory, protocol description, backend service, build/flash path, update/recovery path, account-data policy, score validation, software license, or terms for player content.

The record does not convert a game announcement into a reproducible software release, operational service, security claim, data-handling guarantee, or solution guide.

firmware, UART/XMODEM bootloader, release, source-license, and support boundary · public README and repository-tree review · current public branch and documentation visible; formal release/license/support terms unrecovered

The README describes exposed UART/XMODEM bootloader context and a rapidly developed codebase, while the public repository has firmware material and a latest-branch commit labelled as a final combined DEF CON 34 binary. The reviewed repository presents no tags and no explicit root license. These sources do not establish a versioned/reproducible release, source-to-unit mapping, build/dependency record, release integrity, safe adapter/terminal procedure, update success, rollback/recovery guarantee, security review, vulnerability process, support channel, or warranty.

The catalogue links a substantive public development trail without treating a branch label or bootloader documentation as a complete supported release, a safe flashing guide, a legal reuse grant, or proof of every event unit's firmware.

firmware, UPDI operations, source-license, and support boundary · live maker firmware-feature listing · feature list published; release and target-operation assurance unrecovered

The listing advertises UI/LED animations, UPDI ping/erase/flash, raw-HEX loading, I2C tools, and power sensing, but does not publish a source repository, binary, version, build/toolchain/dependency record, supported targets, erase/flash safeguards, input validation, storage integrity, recovery/rollback path, security review, license, vulnerability policy, support channel, or warranty. Marketplace images also lack a selected reusable-license or explicit-permission basis.

The catalogue records the published high-level feature surface without supplying programming steps, treating it as an audited firmware release, promising safe behavior on attached devices, or reusing marketplace media.

firmware, VOC algorithm, release, and licensing boundary · maker product description, maker-owned source archive, and public release page · source tree public; no release, license, or event-unit mapping recovered

The maker-owned 5-dc34-canary-badge repository contains a PlatformIO Arduino source tree matching the Canary's components and public behavior outline, but reviewed product material does not directly link a commit or branch to the sold SAO. Its public release page reports no releases, and no root license file was recovered. The sources do not establish a final installed firmware, source-to-unit mapping, pinned dependency state, algorithm/library version, calibration state, binary provenance, update/recovery policy, safe operating procedure, or support commitment.

The catalogue can cite the public source archive without presenting it as a finalized event release, validated VOC algorithm, supported update path, secure deployment, operating instruction, or a code/artwork/media reuse grant.

firmware, audio, media, and license gap · official product description and source review · no public implementation archive identified

The speaker/mini-SD statement does not link a firmware repository, binary, controller/platform, source audio, media license, MP3 handling details, file workflow, update/recovery instructions, software license, hardware license, or a final-feature verification source.

The record describes the maker-published audio/storage intent without asserting reproducible firmware, media-reuse rights, final playback behavior, or user-operation instructions.

firmware, audio, source, and intellectual-property scope gap · official product description and source review · no public technical release identified

The maker describes pre-programmed sound/light behavior and physical gong/rear artwork but links no firmware, binary, source repository, build/flash workflow, audio asset/source list, software/art license, art provenance chain, update/recovery path, or hardware-license grant.

The record describes the stated audiovisual/art surface without asserting reproducibility, software availability, audio/art reuse rights, final content, or support scope.

firmware, cryptography, performance, and source-license boundary · maker-described product claims and adjacent repository review · claims are not independently validated; matching release and clear license absent

The source describes RISC-V assembly, UART puzzles, named cryptographic primitives, constant-time behavior, and low-power/performance characteristics, while the linked GitHub repository describes a separate AVR/ATmega328P framework with an Other license field. No matching CH32V003 source, binary, build/flash path, test vector, benchmark method, hardware package, recovery process, security review, or clear applicable license was reviewed.

The catalogue does not characterize the badge as secure, audited, reproducible, open source, performant, or suitable for a security-sensitive purpose solely from maker marketing or an adjacent framework.

firmware, data, license, and source-scope boundary · commit-pinned firmware material, project status, and root license text · source files published; final software and rights scope unverified

The repository contains CMake material, firmware documentation, and a C source file, while the dated status document still marks firmware work as unfinished. No reviewed source establishes a tagged firmware release, reproducible build, final binary, source-to-device mapping, update/recovery outcome, data-retention or privacy practice, security review, support policy, or warranty. The root MIT text uses a generic copyright placeholder and refers to software and associated documentation, so it does not resolve rights for all hardware files, media, third-party material, or a badge image.

The catalogue links the public source archive without treating it as an audited or finished firmware release, authorizing users to follow its procedures, or treating the root license as broad hardware/media/image permission.

firmware, documentation, and licensing gap · primary maker product statement · maker promises post-con material; no current release identified

The listing promises post-con hardware documentation and a stub firmware but no reviewed source currently provides a repository, binary, source tree, game data, build/flash instructions, update/recovery path, release version, firmware hash, hardware license, software license, or documentation/media license.

The dossier records the promise as a future source lead without asserting software availability, reproducible builds, final feature behavior, or reuse rights.

firmware, feature-readiness, and security-behavior boundary · author's explicit day-one qualifier · only source-starred features described as available day 1

The author expressly says most listed capability categories are not ready out of the box and marks only LED adjustment, a hidden CTF/scavenger hunt, and NFC read/write as day-one functions. No firmware, binary, source tree, build/flash guide, challenge rules, feature matrix, configuration, protocol, update/recovery path, security review, test result, privacy policy, or software license is public.

The record does not represent deferred or merely hardware-capable categories as shipped functions, supported workflows, secure behavior, or final user experience.

firmware, installer, dependency, data, and license-scope boundary · public software tree, README, and root MIT license · public source/documentation trail; final firmware and third-party provenance unverified

The project exposes an Arduino sketch and SD-card assets, and its README refers to an ESP32 driver installer plus external Arduino core/library dependencies. The root MIT license covers repository software and associated documentation under the stated copyright, but does not audit, license, or validate installer binaries, external libraries, hardware files, images, RFID assets/data, any security claims, a reproducible build, a final flashed image, a source-to-device hash, update/recovery process, support policy, or event-unit parity.

The catalogue records public code and documentation without asking readers to run installers, treating the project title as a security claim, or representing the repository as a complete/audited/reproducible event-firmware release.

firmware, interaction-protocol, and licensing gap · primary maker storefront source · needs public archive or terms

The product copy narrates game modes and badge-to-badge beacon behavior but does not link firmware source or binary, a flashing/update path, a wireless protocol, message format, source/build instructions, or a software/documentation/hardware license.

The catalogue does not infer radio technology, cryptographic behavior, exploit mechanics, interoperable networking, source availability, or redistribution rights from promotional game language.

firmware, key-pair, signing, and protocol gap · maker claim · high-level signed-firmware claim only

The author says firmware is signed and each badge has its own key pair, but no implementation, algorithm, keys/certificates, trust model, verification user interface, secure-boot chain, source, binary, software license, build/release provenance, key-recovery/revocation process, or audit is public.

The catalogue does not translate a security-oriented maker claim into a cryptographic assurance, vulnerability claim, identity guarantee, or implementation recommendation.

firmware, license, artwork, and image-provenance boundary · repository metadata and commit-pinned README review · source tree public; license, production release, and reusable-image permission unrecovered

The repository publishes PlatformIO/Arduino code, SVG artwork, photographs, and KiCad files, but GitHub reports no detected repository license and the reviewed root has no license file. The README's statement that SVG layers can be inspected, modified, or reused is not treated as a visible legal license or image permission. No tagged production firmware, release manifest, source-to-unit mapping, dependency lock, support policy, image-specific license, photographer attribution, or image-processing provenance is published.

Code and design material remain linked as evidence, while the record stays image-free and does not present the repository as an open-hardware, software, artwork, or media-reuse grant.

firmware, programmable behavior, current GitHub, and licence gap · current roster plan and historical repository review · Day-1 GitHub plan stated; 2026 technical archive absent before event

The roster says a GitHub post is planned for DEF CON Day 1, but the event had not yet begun. The older repository exposes only a README and Gerber directory; it does not identify a microcontroller, firmware source/binary, build toolchain, flashing/update path, behavior specification, 2026 release, source/hardware/documentation licence, support policy, or warranty.

The catalogue does not turn a future publication promise, flashing LED component labels, or an old Gerber archive into a claim of programmable behavior, open source, reproducible current firmware, or licensed reuse.

firmware, programming, release, and source-license gap · public repository and source review · development source visible; final release and explicit license unconfirmed

The maker describes open-source hardware/software and the public tree exposes KiCad and AVR source, but the reviewed repository root did not visibly expose a LICENSE/COPYING file, release, tagged build, flashing guide, programmer settings, fuse map, recovery path, version-to-product mapping, security review, or support policy. The README's development/programming connector wording does not supply a safe or endorsed modification procedure.

The catalogue links a public implementation trail without converting marketing language into a legal reuse grant, reproducible build, supported reflashing path, final firmware release, or warranty.

firmware, programming, release, and source-license gap · public repository and source review · development source visible; final release and explicit license unconfirmed

The maker describes open-source hardware/software and the public tree exposes KiCad and AVR source, but the reviewed repository root did not visibly expose a LICENSE/COPYING file, release, tagged build, flashing guide, programmer settings, fuse map, recovery path, version-to-product mapping, security review, or support policy. The README's programming-connector wording does not supply a safe or endorsed modification procedure.

The catalogue links a public implementation trail without converting marketing language into a legal reuse grant, reproducible build, supported reflashing path, final firmware release, or warranty.

firmware, radio, privacy, and license boundary · public repository review · in-progress source and Arduino file with no reviewed final release or root license

The game source contains BLE-related code, QR support, display/sound modules, and game data, and the companion tree contains an Arduino source file, but no reviewed repository supplies a tagged release, final binary, reproducible build statement, hardware-matched configuration, stable radio or add-on protocol, player-data/privacy statement, consent model, security review, update/recovery policy, or explicit root license. The sources cannot establish final wireless behavior, data handling, or a working host/add-on firmware result.

The record does not offer configuration or operating instructions, claim secure or private interaction, assert a released firmware, or treat public code as a license grant.

firmware, release, and licensing boundary · public repository and release page · educational source is public; final release and reuse terms unrecovered

The repository exposes MicroPython teaching material, while its public GitHub release page reports no releases. No reviewed source establishes a tagged final firmware, binary, source-to-unit mapping, build/dependency state, firmware image on a giveaway PCB, update/recovery policy, security review, support commitment, data practice, code license, artwork license, or media reuse permission.

Public source visibility is recorded without treating it as a finished event release, reliable operating path, security assurance, or permission to copy code, artwork, project branding, photographs, or screenshots.

firmware, release, flashing, and source-license gap · public repository and current root review · development source visible; release and license unconfirmed

The public code repository has a PlatformIO environment and source, but reviewed roots did not visibly expose a README, release, or explicit LICENSE/COPYING file. Sources do not establish a final firmware binary, tag, release notes, version-to-production mapping, reproducible build, programmer/toolchain setup, supported flashing path, rollback/recovery, signed update, security assessment, vulnerability process, warranty, support policy, or a license grant for code/hardware/media.

The catalogue links the source trail without representing the artifact as fully open source, reproducibly buildable, safe to reflash, support-guaranteed, security-reviewed, or licensed for redistribution.

firmware, release, flashing, and source-license gap · public repository and current root review · development source visible; release and license unconfirmed

The public code repository includes a PFC161 directory with Makefile, Easy PDK material, and C source, but reviewed roots did not visibly expose a README, release, or explicit LICENSE/COPYING file. Sources do not establish a final firmware binary, tag, release notes, version-to-production mapping, reproducible build, programmer/toolchain setup, supported flashing path, rollback/recovery, signed update, security assessment, vulnerability process, warranty, support policy, or a license grant for code/hardware/media.

firmware, release, flashing, and source-license gap · public repository and current root review · development source visible; release and license unconfirmed

The public code repository includes a Makefile, Easy PDK material, and C source, but reviewed roots did not visibly expose a README, release, or explicit LICENSE/COPYING file. Sources do not establish a final firmware binary, tag, release notes, version-to-production mapping, reproducible build, programmer/toolchain setup, supported flashing path, rollback/recovery, signed update, security assessment, vulnerability process, warranty, support policy, or a license grant for code/hardware/media.

The catalogue links the source trail without representing the artifact as fully open source, reproducibly buildable, safe to reflash, support-guaranteed, security-reviewed, or licensed for redistribution.

firmware, release, source-license, and support gap · public repository and current metadata review · public development tree; final release and license unconfirmed

The public repository includes firmware and UI material, and its Software README labels the documented build path as old code while leaving the LVGL section TODO. A current repository/API review found no explicit root LICENSE/COPYING file and GitHub license metadata is null. Sources do not establish a final production binary, release notes, version mapping, signed update, backup/recovery process, reproducible toolchain, security review, support policy, warranty, or license grant.

The catalogue can link the public engineering trail without representing the badge as fully open source, reproducibly buildable, support-guaranteed, secure, licensed for reuse, or equivalent to every shipped unit.

firmware, research-build, and source-release scope · official seller statement and public repositories · final Clip-Boy release not identified

The seller distinguishes passive shipped behavior from an optional research build, and identifies ESP32 Marauder as a tooling base, but no public source reviewed here is a final Clip-Boy firmware repository or release. The shop repository is frontend/store code and GitHub reports no detected license for it or the named fork; no final binary, source revision, flash process, dependency list, update/recovery plan, compatibility matrix, support policy, or license grant is identified.

The dossier links relevant public context without representing it as an available, reproducible, supported, or authorized Clip-Boy firmware package.

firmware, security, source, and licensing gap · reviewed first-party listing only · no technical archive identified

The listing's playful claims about immediate boot, no crashes, and zero CVEs do not identify firmware or a security model. No controller, source repository, binary, design archive, build/flash guide, software or hardware license, test suite, update policy, or support policy was found.

The catalogue does not treat marketing jokes as a reliability, security, firmware, or open-hardware claim.

firmware, software, source, and license gap · no implementation source recovered · no software or source documentation located

No reviewed source identifies a controller, firmware, binary, source repository, license, game, animation, operating behavior, update/recovery path, security model, user-data handling, accessibility guidance, or support policy. The MF Doom name does not establish that v2 runs the Doom video game or any software.

Readers are not led to assume electronic behavior, firmware availability, open-source status, video-game functionality, or a supported modification path from the artifact name alone.

firmware, source, and security-state boundary · official support page and creator-published repositories · public update and source paths available; unit-by-unit state unrecovered

The official help page links a firmware-update archive and `dc34-vault`, `dc34-console`, `dc34-api`, Xous, and core-hardware sources; `dc34-vault` warns that custom firmware erases provisioned secrets and changes the badge to developer mode. The reviewed sources do not publish a signed unit-by-unit firmware manifest, a source-to-issued-device mapping, complete update/recovery validation, a full vulnerability/remediation history, a security audit, long-term support terms, or proof that every badge retains the same conference-token state.

The catalogue links the public archive and records the documented state transition without recommending installation, claiming that a later source tree exactly matches every badge, or presenting the token and QR features as independently validated or permanently supported.

firmware, source, authorship, and license gap · public product and roster sources · no implementation or rights archive recovered

No reviewed source identifies a controller, firmware, source repository, binary, flashing path, software behavior, BOM, schematic, PCB/Gerber, hardware/license grant, art/character authorship chain, or permission to reuse any product or roster media. The Day of the Dead theme/title does not itself establish creator, cultural, organizational, or rights-holder affiliation or approval.

The catalogue retains first-party product wording without turning it into a programmable-badge, open-source, reproducible-design, authorship, cultural-affiliation, endorsement, or reusable-media claim.

firmware, source, authorship, and license gap · public product and roster sources · no implementation or rights archive recovered

No reviewed source identifies a controller, firmware, source repository, binary, flashing path, software behavior, BOM, schematic, PCB/Gerber, hardware/license grant, art/character authorship chain, or permission to reuse any product or roster media. The Day of the Dead theme/title does not itself establish creator, cultural, organizational, or rights-holder affiliation or approval.

The catalogue retains first-party product wording without turning it into a programmable-badge, open-source, reproducible-design, authorship, cultural-affiliation, endorsement, or reusable-media claim.

firmware, source, behavior, and licensing gap · reviewed first-party listing only · no technical archive identified

The source says effects persist but does not identify firmware or a control implementation. No source repository, binary, build/flash path, effect specification, update/recovery policy, hardware design archive, test suite, code license, documentation license, or support policy was recovered.

The entry does not turn simple listed behavior into an open-source, programmable, or security-verified badge claim.

firmware, source, release, and licence gap · public maker source review · no public implementation/archive identified

The reviewed public roster, video, and product listing do not provide a microcontroller identification, firmware/binary, source repository, schematic/PCB archive, build or flashing instructions, update/recovery path, release/tag, license, security review, vulnerability policy, support policy, or warranty.

The record does not turn a documented blinky add-on into a programmable badge, released source project, reproducible build, or legal reuse grant.

firmware, source, release, privacy, and licence gap · current public-source review · no current implementation or policy archive identified

No reviewed public source provides firmware, binary, source repository, build/flashing path, update/recovery instructions, release/tag, sensor data interface, calibration/configuration, app, protocol, collection/storage/transmission behavior, security review, privacy policy, vulnerability policy, support policy, or licence for the Original Series Tricorder badge. The historical tricorderSAO repository exposes documentation and media without an explicit root licence or a current-badge mapping.

The catalogue does not present a proposed sensor badge as a released software project, a programmable device, a privacy-reviewed tracker, a reproducible build, or a legal reuse grant.

firmware, source-code, challenge, and recovery boundary · official BadgeLife guide · high-level recovery documentation published; firmware release and support unrecovered

The guide names USB CDC, DFU/BOOTSEL, and firmware.uf2 recovery, and labels firmware source as after-con material while intentionally withholding challenge answers. The reviewed source does not publish a firmware file, source repository, versioned release, build/dependency record, source-to-device mapping, signature/integrity mechanism, challenge solution, complete recovery image, security review, privacy/data policy, support channel, warranty, or proof of successful field updates.

The record makes the public documentation discoverable without turning it into an invitation to bypass challenges, a verified update path, a final firmware archive, or a supported modification procedure.

firmware, support, third-party-media, and image-rights boundary · maker README, handoff, and repository license · V5 source history public; third-party-media and gallery-image rights unresolved

The handoff says most event boards had V4 and V5 was released later. The repository supplies code/design-file MIT terms but expressly excludes GIF files, the DEF CON name, and DC34 logo artwork. It does not establish an installed version for every board, signed/reproducible event firmware, support or warranty, security review, safe update/recovery result, or a selected badge photo/render with a complete image-specific reuse basis.

The catalogue links a substantive source and firmware trail but publishes no repository image or artwork and does not present a later source revision as a supported update or all-unit state.

firmware, toolchain, programming workflow, and licensing gap · official product description and cited basis · no public technical release identified

The source names an ATtiny814 and says the device is based on Stefan Wagner's UPDI programmer, but it does not publish onboard firmware, host utility versions, driver/install requirements, toolchain, source repository, target examples, flashing settings, recovery instructions, license, dependency inventory, or a support policy.

The catalogue credits the public source basis without supplying unverified programming steps, device-specific firmware claims, a reproducible build, or reuse terms.

firmware, update, radio/data, and software-license scope boundary · official project/update pages and public firmware fork · active project/update surface published; deployed configuration and assurance unrecovered

The maker page describes Meshtastic software and optional application pairing, the updater labels 2.7.26.pager for DEF CON 34, and a public Meshtastic fork exists. The reviewed sources do not establish a complete release manifest or integrity proof, source-to-device build mapping, all inherited/dependency licenses, default or event-specific radio settings, channel/key policy, data retention, privacy/security review, vulnerability handling, legal use guidance, update success, rollback/recovery guarantee, or support/warranty terms.

The catalogue links a real public project without implying that a labelled firmware build is complete, audited, installed on every unit, safe for a particular radio/data context, or accompanied by a support guarantee.

firmware, vendor-command, secret-content, and licensing gap · official product-level behavior description · no public technical release identified

The source mentions lighting modes, generic LED control, vendor commands, reprogramming, and an undisclosed possible secret, but no reviewed material publishes firmware, source tree, binary, command definitions, IDs, secret content, build/flash instructions, update/recovery path, software license, dependency inventory, or terms for user content.

The catalogue records public behavior claims without exposing or inventing challenge content, protocol messages, source availability, update steps, or reuse rights.

first-run shipping, second-run interest, and fulfillment boundary · official shop and current inventory · first run sold out; second run not committed

The shop says all 152 first-run badges shipped and the live inventory shows zero remaining across its three editions. Its current second-run form states that it is only an interest count with no payment, pre-order, reservation, or obligation. Reviewed sources do not establish buyer receipt, DEF CON pickup completion, tracking, replacements, refunds, customs outcomes, venue handoff, a new production commitment, final price, or a second-run delivery date.

The catalogue records a current sold-out/interest state without calling every unit delivered, treating a signup as an order, or claiming a future run will occur.

game firmware, update, source, and license gap · maker game claims and public board binary context · CircuitPython build available; eChallengeCoin game/release trail incomplete

The maker says the coin supports a terminal game and new firmware, and CircuitPython offers a board-specific UF2 build, but no reviewed source provides the 2026 text-adventure game source/binary, a release tag, checksum, flash/update instructions, serial protocol, game documentation, final firmware-to-unit mapping, recovery process, package license, hardware license, artwork license, security review, vulnerability process, support policy, or warranty.

The catalogue points to a public board platform without representing the shipped game or final coin as open source, reproducibly buildable, safe to reflash, supported, security-reviewed, or licensed for redistribution.

generated-art source and image-provenance boundary · primary repository README · generated artwork remains excluded

The repository says the beer-cup PCB artwork started from an AI-generated image before transfer into KiCad. Its permissive license does not identify an individual product or repository raster as a cleared factual documentary image, and the catalogue does not publish generated or synthetic badge imagery.

No board art, product imagery, source preview, or derivative is treated as a rights-cleared factual hero image merely because the code/design source is public or broadly licensed.

giveaway, purchase-included, color, and revision relationship boundary · multiple first-party statements but no mapping · separate source claims retained; relationship unresolved

The roster describes a 1,000-unit free PAC MAN Ghost SAO giveaway; a Bluesky reply says a Spectre Sniffer purchase includes a PAC-MAN Ghost SAO; and the product listing says one included companion is one of four colors. No reviewed source maps these statements to shared stock, a board revision, artwork, color variants, electronics, component population, quantity accounting, or delivery path.

Readers should not assume that a purchased companion is the same as a free-drop item, that every color is available in every channel, or that all public claims describe one identical physical run.

hardware and firmware archive gap · official product page and GitHub inspection · awaiting announced activation material

Public DC34 material does not identify the board's components, radio, display, battery, connector, power, PCB, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, firmware, flashing procedure, protocol, source repository, or software license. AND!XOR explicitly says activation instructions will be posted only when the contest begins.

The record does not turn marketing references to hardware, firmware, or GPIO into an unverified electronic-badge specification.

hardware revision, bill-of-material, power, and safety boundary · public source tree · multiple source artifacts; final physical unit undocumented

The hardware project contains board variants, production/gerber paths, position data, acrylic files, and a source-defined MCU/LED/input/audio/SD surface, but not a reviewed final BOM or complete assembler/operator guide. It does not establish actual LED/input selection, battery or power configuration, current/thermal data, charge behavior, enclosure safety, radio behavior, dimensions, electrical test results, certification, or final revision shipped to participants.

The record does not transform source tree names and schematic/fabrication material into a verified production bill of materials, safety endorsement, repair guide, or field-operating recommendation.

hardware revision, final bill-of-material, and interface boundary · maker listing and MIT firmware repository · multiple revisions documented

The product names an ESP32-S3/128×128/61-LED surface and five mechanical switches, while firmware documentation covers v1/v2/v3 boards and describes v3 plus four face buttons and an encoder. The sources do not map the offered DEF CON unit to a definitive revision, final board files, exact sensor/module selection, full BOM, pinout, dimensions, antenna, or manufacturing configuration.

The record retains supported feature families while avoiding a claim that the live offering exactly matches one repository branch, older board revision, or a complete production BOM.

hardware revision, power, connector, and safety documentation gap · public hardware tree and firmware pin declarations · source files published; final electrical and mechanical specification incomplete

The public hardware repository shows KiCad, BOM/position, and Gerber material, and the firmware declares CH32V003, touch, PWM audio, and LED paths. Reviewed sources do not establish final board revision/population, component substitutions, LED/speaker models, touch-electrode construction, SAO connector/version/pinout, input supply range, battery/charging path, current draw, voltage limits, protection, dimensions, enclosure, assembly process, test coverage, user instructions, safety warnings, EMC/RF/compliance evidence, or handling guidance.

The entry can point to a concrete design archive without presenting the SAO as electrically complete, interoperable with every host, safe for every power source, fabricated, tested, or compliance-validated.

hardware, 9 V power, SAO, assembly, and electrical-safety specification boundary · public README, BOM, and native board tree · design sources published; final engineering validation unrecovered

The source names ATmega328P, PCF8523T, displays, regulators, a 9 V path, buttons, seven SAO connectors, and an ISP port, but does not establish a final schematic/BOM revision, board stack-up, display wiring/current, power-source compatibility, regulator dissipation/thermal behavior, battery/connector quality, voltage/current budgets, SAO version/pinout/limits, ESD/short/reverse protection, assembly/inspection/test protocol, measured behavior, compliance, enclosure, or a safe-use result.

The record links a real design trail without presenting it as a complete electrical specification, a validated battery/adapter recommendation, a universal SAO compatibility claim, a safe assembly guide, or a manufactured quality record.

hardware, AA power, enclosure, and safety documentation gap · maker product description · high-level physical claims published; engineering documentation absent

The source names a CH32V003, twelve LEDs, exposed circular single-layer PCB, no protective enclosure, and two AA batteries, but does not publish a schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, dimensions, battery chemistry, current/voltage limits, regulator/protection design, connectors, thermal/fault testing, assembly procedure, runtime measurement, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The record does not turn a maker-described bare board and battery arrangement into a safe-use instruction, a battery-life guarantee, or a universal hardware-compatibility claim.

hardware, LiPo, USB-C, RF, and mechanical safety boundary · official project site and public design repositories · source-published components/design files; engineering validation unrecovered

The sources name ESP32-S3, SX1262, LCD, LEDs, microSD, USB-C, LiPo, battery management, radio bands, antenna wording, resin/acrylic construction, and public design files. They do not establish the exact 2026 board/case revision, full schematic/BOM verification, battery cell/protection/charger settings, power/current/thermal budgets, port protection, RF antenna characterization, emissions/compliance, mechanical load/drop testing, assembly inspection, repair procedure, final quality control, or safe modification/use result.

The record provides the documented hardware surface without becoming an electrical, radio, battery, fabrication, or repair endorsement.

hardware, OLED, LiPo, ESP32, and variant gap · maker comment · component names only for an intended RGB full-board configuration

The maker says RGB blank boards omit an OLED, LiPo, and ESP32 module, but does not identify part numbers, schematic, board revision, radio/antenna design, battery capacity/chemistry/protection/charging, display driver, electrical limits, power budget, assembly quality, final RGB/non-RGB configuration, or safety/compliance evidence.

The entry does not turn an availability comment into a complete BOM, safe battery-use statement, final product configuration, or engineering specification.

hardware, SAO, measurement, and safety validation gap · repository and maker descriptions · detailed source but no final validation evidence

Public material identifies the MCU, flash, sensor, display, connector and programming surfaces, but does not publish a final production-revision manifest, full schematic/BOM verification, supply/current budget, adapter pinout, host test matrix, SAO compliance evidence, probe ingress/food-contact rating, calibration and uncertainty data, electrical/thermal measurements, failure behavior, assembly inspection, or safety/compliance verification.

The dossier does not turn an open technical design into an accuracy guarantee, safe-use endorsement, electrical compatibility certificate, or universally compatible host accessory.

hardware, battery, SAO, and I2C compatibility gap · maker product description plus maker-owned KiCad source · source schematic/PCB public; final unit and host testing unresolved

Lepi Labs' matching public repository now exposes native KiCad board and schematic files alongside the maker's broad sensor, display, MCU, SAO, CR2032, and I2C-isolation statements. Its product page does not link a repository revision to v1.0 or an event unit, and reviewed sources still do not establish a final BOM, fabrication output, battery/power budget, voltage/current limits, pinout, I2C pullup/level details, thermal or runtime data, host matrix, mechanical specification, safety documentation, or final test evidence.

The record can link a source-published design trail while withholding a final physical specification, safe battery-use claim, collision-free bus guarantee, or universal SAO compatibility assertion.

hardware, battery, radio, and safety-validation boundary · maker-proposed technical documentation · design-stage hardware claims; engineering validation unrecovered

The README proposes a camera/display/storage platform, rechargeable battery power, SAO headers, and a radio-carrier concept, but no reviewed source establishes final part selection, schematic correctness, board stack-up, battery/charging/protection behavior, connector limits, power/current/thermal behavior, mechanical integrity, antenna or radio characterization, electromagnetic compliance, RF exposure assessment, test procedure, safety review, or safe-use outcome.

The record retains high-level source-backed design claims without treating them as an electrical specification, a battery-safety statement, a radio-compliance claim, a universally compatible SAO result, or operational advice.

hardware, battery, radio, electrical-safety, and compliance boundary · maker README and hardware guide · component and build caveats published; broad validation unrecovered

The maker documents three XIAO ESP32-S3 boards, patch antennas, display, lithium-ion cell, Gerbers, a battery cage, and real build caveats including reversed battery connector polarity, button-footprint mismatch, and fit variation. Reviewed sources do not establish a full final BOM or substitutions, unit inspection, battery cell provenance, charge/protection settings, current or thermal measurements, enclosure safety, RF exposure, emissions/regulatory compliance, ESD/short/reverse protection, test results, or safe assembly/service instructions.

Public fabrication material and candid build notes remain discoverable without becoming a universal build, battery-service, radio-operation, or electrical-safety recommendation.

hardware, connector, coin-cell, and electrical-safety documentation gap · maker product description · high-level LED and SAO claims documented; full safety specification absent

The maker describes LED illumination, SAO 1.69bis attachment, a DIY connector, and a coin-cell pin-wear path that was still in works, but does not publish LED count/model/current, controller, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, PCB dimensions, connector pinout/orientation, electrical limits, coin-cell holder/chemistry/polarity, runtime, assembly/test guide, host-compatibility matrix, ESD protection, safe-installation/removal guidance, compliance, or certification.

The catalogue records the source-published LED and connection context without claiming universal host compatibility, a ready coin-cell wearable, electrical safety, soldering safety, or a complete engineering specification.

hardware, firmware, and licensing archive gap · reviewed maker sources · no public technical archive identified

The reviewed product listing and maker profile contain no schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerber, bill of materials, component references, firmware source or binary, flashing/build instructions, protocol documentation, release history, or software/hardware/documentation license.

Maker-published feature language remains traceable but is not treated as a reproducible build, released firmware, open hardware, free software, or permission to reuse technical or visual material.

hardware, power, LED, and host-compatibility gap · maker physical-form summary · needs technical documentation and host testing

The source provides size, a standard header claim, and yellow-LED behavior on DC34 but does not publish a controller, LED part/current, voltage range, current draw, pinout, connector orientation, circuit/protection, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, test record, safety guidance, or host matrix.

The record does not convert a direct-DC34 marketing claim into a general electrical or mechanical compatibility guarantee.

hardware, power, RFID, SAO, and assembly-safety documentation boundary · public README inventory and assembly documentation · component-level kit inventory published; engineering validation unrecovered

The README names an ESP32 Dev Module, round LCD, RFID reader, microSD, RGB LEDs, four AAA batteries, and six-pin SAO pieces, but reviewed public materials do not establish the module/display/reader model, RFID protocol or frequency, schematic, PCB revision, component values, BOM completeness, antenna/data-path design, battery chemistry/holder quality, power path, current draw, voltage limits, SAO pinout/current budget, ESD/protection, thermal/fault testing, assembly inspection, user safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The team names ESP32-S3, IR, NFC, BLE, a buzzer, two objects, and a separate SAO but does not publish modules, board revision, antenna, frequencies, protocol, power/battery/charging design, current limits, connector/pinout, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, enclosure, safety guidance, test data, compliance evidence, or host matrix.

The dossier preserves the published technical nouns without treating them as a complete electrical design, interoperable standard, safe-use instruction, or confirmed production specification.

hardware, power, breakout, debug, and target-safety boundary · live maker component and interface listing · high-level hardware surface published; engineering validation unrecovered

The maker lists an RP2354A, INA3221 monitor, ST7789, WS2812 LEDs, breadboard platform, UART/UPDI/I2C/5 V/3.3 V/debug breakouts, and a DPDT selector. The source does not establish schematics, final PCB/BOM, component substitutions, breakout pinout/levels/current, monitor calibration, target protection, switch behavior, debug transport, power source, regulator/protection, thermal behavior, breadboard mechanical fit, test results, compliance, or safe programming/use conditions.

The dossier remains technically useful without becoming a reference design, external-target compatibility assurance, power specification, or hardware safety endorsement.

hardware, power, connector, and electrical-safety documentation gap · historical BOM/assembly notes only · older component list published; operating limits unreported

The older README names LEDs, resistors, a 2×3 header, and cathode orientation, but does not publish a final 2026 schematic/BOM, operating voltage/current, supply source, SAO pinout/revision, LED forward/current values, resistor rationale, power budget, host compatibility, ESD/short protection, assembly/tools/inspection procedure, test measurements, thermal behavior, compliance, or safe installation/removal guidance.

The record documents a real LED SAO design trail without presenting either the old or planned re-release as electrically characterized, safe for every host, mechanically compatible, or suitable for unsupervised modification.

hardware, power, connector, and electrical-safety documentation gap · public schematic/BOM and source but incomplete operating documentation · design inputs visible; practical limits unreported

The public tree supplies a KiCad schematic and BOM, but reviewed material does not publish a final assembled-board revision, power-source requirements, voltage/current budget, SAO host supply limits, connector orientation/clearance confirmation, pin-by-pin installation guide, hot-plug/ESD protection analysis, component tolerance/substitution policy, assembly/test process, measured behavior, compliance record, or safe modification procedure.

The dossier links an inspectable design trail without asserting that every source-derived board is electrically compatible, safely assembled, safe to attach, or suitable for unattended modification.

hardware, power, connector, and safety documentation gap · public hardware tree and firmware pin declarations · source files published; final electrical and mechanical specification incomplete

The public hardware repository shows KiCad, BOM/position, Gerber, spacer, and PFC161 material, and the code declares a two-LED PFC161 path. Reviewed sources do not establish final board revision/population, component substitutions, LED type/brightness, exact phrase construction, resistor/current design, SAO connector version/pinout, input supply range, power source, battery/charging path, current draw, voltage limits, protection, dimensions, materials, assembly process, test coverage, user instructions, safety warnings, EMC/RF/compliance evidence, or a host compatibility matrix.

The entry can point to a concrete archive without representing the SAO as electrically complete, interoperable with every host, safe for every power source, fabricated, tested, or compliance-validated.

hardware, power, connector, host interaction, and safety documentation gap · public hardware tree and firmware pin declarations · source files published; final electrical and mechanical specification incomplete

The public archive shows KiCad, BOM/position, Gerber, acrylic, PFC161, touch, and LED material, but sources do not establish final board revision/population, component substitutions, LED model/order/brightness, touch-electrode construction, SAO connector version/pinout, Portal Badge protocol, input supply range, power source, battery/charging path, current draw, voltage limits, protection, dimensions, acrylic specifications, assembly process, test coverage, user instructions, safety warnings, EMC/RF/compliance evidence, or a host compatibility matrix.

The entry can point to a concrete archive without representing the SAO as electrically complete, compatible with every Portal Badge or host, safe for every power source, fabricated, tested, or compliance-validated.

hardware, power, firmware, and electronic-specification gap · official checkout terminology only · LED badge with no technical archive identified

The only reviewed artifact-level technical claim is the official label LED badge. No source identifies its PCB, controller, LEDs, display, power/battery/charging path, USB, radio, connectors, sensors, dimensions, materials, schematic, BOM, firmware, software license, source release, assembly process, safety guidance, final revision, or test evidence.

The entry does not turn an LED-badge product label into a claimed circuit, operating behavior, repair path, certification, or safety assurance.

hardware, power, host-interface, and safety boundary · commit-pinned README and public KiCad tree · high-level design surface published; final electrical and physical validation unrecovered

The README names an ATtiny1604-SS, LEDs, a button, soldering-challenge positions, a 3.3 V operating statement, and KiCad source files. It does not establish a final production BOM, substitutions, power source, battery or charging design, current budget, protection, thermal or optical performance, SAO header version/pinout, host-voltage/current compatibility, assembly quality, mechanical durability, test result, certification, safety review, or safe outcome for every configuration. The catalogue does not republish programming or soldering procedures.

The entry keeps its useful electronic-design trail visible while avoiding an electrical guarantee, universal SAO compatibility claim, safety endorsement, or do-it-yourself operating instruction.

hardware, power, memory, and SAO compatibility gap · maker component-level summary · needs technical documentation and host testing

The maker names LEDs, FR4, a tactile button, retained effect, and a 2.7–3.7 V input range but does not publish a controller, memory device, LED current, power budget, regulator, pinout, header orientation, I2C/GPIO usage, protection, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, voltage/current limits, test data, host matrix, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.

The record does not convert a maker-described lighting surface into a universal electrical compatibility or reliability guarantee.

hardware, power, radio, and host-compatibility validation gap · commit-pinned maker hardware and RF documentation · detailed maker release published; independent validation still absent

The release now provides a schematic/PCB, production files, BOM, board revision, antenna layout, maker NanoVNA sweeps, and a source-published SAO/USB-C power design. It still does not supply independent electrical-safety evidence, EMC/radio certification, an independent RF test, universal current/voltage/thermal limits, a host-badge compatibility matrix, production inspection/traceability, or a third-party field-performance result.

The entry can accurately describe the released engineering material while withholding a universally safe host/power claim, compliance finding, independent performance guarantee, or repair/modification recommendation.

hardware, power, radio, and safety specification gap · official high-level product description · needs technical release

The maker describes an ESP32-S3 wrist badge, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth feature family, LEDs, theremin, and 3D-printed enclosure, but has not published a reviewed schematic, PCB, BOM, pinout, antenna configuration, radio region/limits, battery/charger/protection design, current/thermal data, USB/debug behavior, mechanical dimensions, assembly documentation, test results, or certification.

The record does not convert promotional/high-level descriptions into an electrical specification, RF certification claim, charging recommendation, repair/modification guide, or safety endorsement.

hardware, power, radio, and safety specification gap · official high-level product description · needs technical release

The product names an ESP32-C3 and 24 RGB LEDs but publishes no schematic, PCB/Gerber, BOM, board revision, LED/audio part details, power/battery/charging design, USB/debug interface, antenna/radio settings, current/thermal data, test record, certification, operating guide, or modification safety guidance.

The dossier keeps precise seller-described features without turning them into a complete electrical specification, safety endorsement, repair guide, or RF/compliance claim.

hardware, power, red LED, and host-compatibility gap · maker physical-form summary · needs technical documentation and host testing

The source identifies a standard 2 by 3 header and a red eye that glows when powered, but does not identify components, LED current, controller, voltage/current limits, electrical protection, pinout, orientation, power budget, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, dimensions, test results, safety guidance, or host matrix.

The record does not promote a decorative power-on statement into a general electrical compatibility or reliability guarantee.

hardware, power, touch, and interoperability documentation gap · commit-pinned firmware README · high-level interface components identified; production design unreleased

The README names an ESP32-C3, ST7789 display, touch controller address, and no-button interaction, but does not establish the exact module, display/touch variants, PCB, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, antenna, battery, charging, USB, voltage/current limits, power budget, connector mapping, touch calibration, enclosure, dimensions, test data, safety guidance, compliance, or interoperability matrix.

The entry reports the named firmware target and interaction surface without inferring a complete electrical design, reliable touch behavior, safe power path, or compatibility with external hardware.

hardware, power, wood, and SAO-host electrical gap · maker component and interface summary · needs final electrical and mechanical documentation

The sources name the controller, LEDs, button, cedar, standard SAO header, breakout pads, and 100 kHz I2C baseline but do not publish a schematic, BOM, board revision, supply/current limits, battery/power design, I2C pullups, GPIO voltage/current limits, ESD/protection details, pinout validation, mechanical dimensions, wood finish/safety record, thermal data, compliance evidence, or host test matrix.

The dossier does not convert a useful product and how-to description into an electrical integration certificate, universal host fit, or material-safety guarantee.

hardware, software, radio, NFC, and safety specification boundary · official product-description review · high-level planned electronics published; technical release unrecovered

The listing names an RP2040, LoRa, NFC, 48 RGB LEDs, MicroPython, touch points, and SAO V1.69bis, but does not identify components, radio band/configuration/compliance, antenna, NFC chip or data behavior, LED parts/current, touch method, board revision, schematic, BOM, firmware, source license, power, battery, charging, connector pinout, electrical limits, test results, safety guidance, privacy practice, or final-unit parity. Its stated future GitHub publication is not treated as already released.

The record makes the organizer-published design intent discoverable without converting sales copy into a finalized, safe, interoperable, privacy-reviewed, or source-released device.

hardware, surface-mount, and connector documentation gap · maker SAO label and high-level surface-mount statement · artifact class and one fabrication change named; engineering details undisclosed

Public sources call the item an SAO and say v2 parts will be surface mounted, but do not identify the specific parts, controller, connector model/pinout, SAO version, power requirements, circuit, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, mechanical design, assembly/test process, safety guidance, host compatibility, or compliance evidence.

The record preserves the verified artifact classification and v2 fabrication statement without inventing electronics, connector behavior, or electrical safety properties.

hardware-source and production-revision boundary · published directory structure only · source-tree scope not reconciled with manufactured units

The Hardware tree visibly includes drawings, spacer, front PCB, back PCB, and test-jig directories, but this pass did not reconcile schematic, BOM, Gerber, fabrication, enclosure, test-jig, or revision files against the live store's product configuration. The sources do not identify final board revision, quantities, assembly operator, test coverage, serialisation, materials, or unit-to-unit variance.

The directory structure is recorded as a useful maker trail without treating it as a complete released hardware package or confirmation that all sales share one documented revision.

horror theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · maker wording and source labels only · creative framing recorded; rights and affiliation unsubstantiated

The maker presents Krampus as a themed minibadge holder, but reviewed sources do not identify the art, character, product, firmware, or hardware authorship chain; a rights/license basis for associated creative elements; or authorization, affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement from DEF CON, SAINTCON, or another organization/person.

The dossier records source-described creative framing without asserting ownership, franchise/religious or cultural affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, authorship, or media-reuse authority.

horror theme, authorship, and endorsement boundary · maker wording and source labels only · creative framing recorded; rights and affiliation unsubstantiated

The maker presents Beelzebub as a horror-themed minibadge holder, but reviewed sources do not identify the art, character, product, firmware, or hardware authorship chain; a rights/license basis for associated creative elements; or authorization, affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement from DEF CON, SAINTCON, or another organization/person.

The dossier records source-described creative framing without asserting ownership, franchise/religious or cultural affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, authorship, or media-reuse authority.

image provenance · maker-controlled repository license and pinned upstream asset · licensed official render added

The published Darknet-NG SMAO visual is the exact 1081 by 628 `v1.4_front_render.png` upstream board render from the reviewed `dcbokonon/darknet-smao` source snapshot. The repository's MIT license names Boko (Darknet-NG), and the maker README identifies the render as a hardware image. The local source PNG and optimized WebP retain source URL, license, attribution, and processing provenance.

The catalogue now shows a source-licensed official upstream render without copying the Uberflux gallery, project-page media, social imagery, a screenshot, placeholder, or synthetic approximation.

image-provenance boundary · repository image/vector review and local image policy · no selected factual artifact image with complete reusable provenance

The repository's vector and board assets do not pair a selected factual physical badge image or official upstream raster with an explicit reusable license or permission basis, named attribution, source URL, and local processing notes. The source tree's lack of a root license further prevents treating any visual asset as cleared by default.

The project remains image-free rather than publishing board previews, vector artwork, Gerber renderings, screenshots, source graphics, synthetic imagery, or an approximate badge image.

in-person game, wireless, player-data, and safety boundary · team-announced proximity and event-interaction claims · planned behavior only

The announcement describes transmission, IR/NFC/BLE, crew zones, fixed Cure Stations, hidden props, and an SAO effect in range, but does not publish interaction rules, consent model, accessibility plan, physical-safety precautions, radio/privacy/security design, data collection/retention, venue coordination, staff identification, moderation, incident response, participant eligibility, or post-event result.

Readers can see the intended collaborative game context without assuming that proximity effects, wireless behavior, data use, safety, or onsite logistics were implemented, authorized, or suitable for every participant.

incomplete software, IR, data, and safety boundary · commit-pinned source header and repository review · handshake, infrared, and logging explicitly not wired up; release and review state unrecovered

The source header says handshake, infrared, and logging logic is not wired up yet, and the hardware-test commit says over-air infrared needs physical LED/receiver wiring. The public repository does not establish final behavior, protocols, stored or transmitted data, privacy practice, authorization model, security review, safe electrical or infrared use, tagged binary, reproducible build, recovery package, integrity process, vulnerability handling, support, or warranty. This record does not reproduce controls, pins, protocols, or modification steps.

The listed source remains useful as a development snapshot while users are warned not to infer functional infrared/game behavior, safe operation, data handling, or a supported release.

independent BCCC / DEF CON association and credential boundary · official contest page and maker sources · independent contest-linked BadgeLife artifact

BCCC's official page places the contest at DEF CON 34 and says contestants must hold DEF CON badges, while the Beer SAO sources describe an independent marketplace offer and winner-copy route. They do not identify The Beer SAO as a DEF CON Human badge, an organizer-issued admission item, an included registration benefit, a contest entitlement for every attendee, or proof of organizer approval for a particular pickup/sales flow.

The catalogue classifies the artifact as an independent contest-linked Simple Add-On rather than an official conference credential, access substitute, or confirmed universal contest prize.

independent BadgeLife and DEF CON credential boundary · primary maker listing · documented as an independent pre-event release

The marketplace listing presents a limited NilbinSec DEF CON 34 pickup release and its own BadgeLife Village drop context. It does not say that the artifact is the official DEF CON badge, grants admission, is sold by DEF CON, is included with registration, or has an official production/allocation status.

The catalogue classifies it as an independent BadgeLife record rather than an official DEF CON Human badge or a substitute for conference registration.

independent BadgeLife classification · primary storefront source · documented pre-event

The product's Def Con 34 Badge Pickup option establishes a convention pickup context, but the official DEF CON 34 Human badge has separate registration and distribution terms. The marketplace listing identifies an independent maker kit and does not identify it as a DEF CON admission credential.

The record is connected to DEF CON 34 for BadgeLife discovery while remaining distinct from the official Human badge and any general-attendee allocation.

independent BadgeLife classification and edition allocation gap · primary organizer event listing · documented pre-event

The listing connects the item to DEF CON 34 and names prior-design reruns, but it does not identify Electric Fist as the official DEF CON Human credential or publish quantities, production batches, exact edition/variant allocation, checkout-option fulfillment, or attendee-wide distribution terms.

The record remains a separately organized BadgeLife fundraiser linked to DEF CON 34 discovery, distinct from the official Human badge and from unverified allocation claims.

independent DC34 association and official credential boundary · live maker page and primary public source hierarchy · independent pre-event maker/project association

BigFuckingBadge's page uses DEF CON 34 Las Vegas/August and presale wording, and the public group path explicitly contains `bfb/dc34/public/badge/portal-badge`. Neither reviewed source identifies an official DEF CON organizer relationship, says the badge is a DEF CON Human badge, grants admission, describes registration inclusion, or establishes a convention-wide allocation.

The dossier treats the Portal Badge as an independently sourced DC34 maker/project, not an official DEF CON credential or a substitute for registration.

independent DEF CON and Packet Hacking Village association, allocation, and credential boundary · official village programme plus maker repository · completed independent village-associated project; organizer issuance and allocation unrecovered

Packet Hacking Village's official programme establishes the completed village and Friend or Foe talk, while the maker repository describes the badge and a 45-unit DEF CON run. Neither reviewed official village or DEF CON source says it designed, issued, funded, sold, distributed, or endorsed the badge; neither says it was an attendee-wide handout, registration benefit, admission credential, or a completed recipient ledger.

The dossier preserves a completed event-associated electronic artifact without treating it as an official DEF CON Human badge, village credential, general attendee entitlement, or proof that any specific person received a unit.

independent DEF CON association and MF DOOM affiliation boundary · public maker self-submission and fan-themed product name · independent planned BadgeLife artifact; credential and rights status undocumented

The roster and maker thread associate the planned item with DEF CON 34, but neither says DEF CON issued it, included it with registration, grants entry, replaces a Human badge, or has organizer endorsement.

The catalogue classifies Ouroboros as an independent BadgeLife offering tied to maker intent, not an official conference credential, organizer-issued badge, or access item.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker page and public Badgelife self-submission · independent planned SAO update associated with DEF CON 34

The maker uses DEF CON 34 presale language and the public Badgelife row identifies IFLFU SAO, but no reviewed source says DEF CON issued it, includes it with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, is required for BadgeLife, or has verified venue authorization.

The catalogue records a source-backed independent event association without portraying the SAO as official conference hardware, a credential, access item, universal attendee handout, or completed official distribution.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker storefront and public Badgelife self-submission · independent planned kit associated with DEF CON 34

The product page names a conditional DEFCON pickup window and the public roster lists the Turkey pair as a new DEF CON 34 badge, but no reviewed source says DEF CON issued it, includes it with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, is required for a village, or has verified venue authorization.

The catalogue records a source-backed independent event association without presenting v2 as official conference hardware, an access item, a universal attendee benefit, or confirmed organizer distribution.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker product listing · independent pre-event SAO associated with DEF CON 34

delphi identifies Luna as a DEF CON 34 pickup item and names tentative BadgeLife drops, but does not say it is issued by DEF CON, included with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, or has confirmed venue authorization.

The catalogue classifies Luna as an independent pre-event Simple Add-On, not an official conference credential, organizer-issued badge, or access item.

independent DEF CON association and credential boundary · maker storefront and public Badgelife self-submission · independent planned kit associated with DEF CON 34

The product page names a conditional DEFCON pickup window and the public roster lists the Turkey pair as a new DEF CON 34 badge, but no reviewed source says DEF CON issued it, includes it with registration, grants admission, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, is required for a village, or has verified venue authorization.

The catalogue records a source-backed independent event association without presenting v1 as official conference hardware, an access item, a universal attendee benefit, or confirmed organizer distribution.

independent DEF CON association, RM-Cyber relationship, allocation, and credential boundary · public repository description and Player Guide · pre-event source project documented; organization relationship and handoff unverified

The repository description calls The Shattered Shard a DEF CON 34 RM-Cyber challenge badge, while its Player Guide addresses an assigned badge. No reviewed DEF CON, RM-Cyber, venue, or organizer source confirms the publisher's relationship; organizer authorization; price; sale/giveaway; physical run; recipient criteria; assigned-badge allocation; pickup; shipping; completed handoff; admission or access role; support; or post-event result.

The catalogue preserves the source's current event association and distinct project name without presenting it as an official DEF CON badge, an RM-Cyber-issued artifact, a guaranteed attendee benefit, an access credential, a completed release, or proof that any participant received one.

independent DEF CON association, allocation, and credential boundary · public maker repository, commit-pinned README, and physical-production update · source-publisher physical maker run documented; organizer relationship and recipient handoff unverified

The project is titled DEF CON Silent Disco Badge, and the maker's August 4 update says the boards were fabricated, assembled, and playing music with a QR code on every badge pointing to the repository. No reviewed DEF CON, venue, silent-disco organizer, sponsor, merchant, or attendee source confirms an official relationship, program slot, price, sale/giveaway terms, quantity, recipient criteria, allocation, pickup, shipping, completed handoff, Human-badge relationship, admission/access role, or post-event use.

The catalogue records a documented independent physical DEF CON 34-associated maker badge, not an official DEF CON artifact, organizer-issued silent-disco credential, guaranteed attendee benefit, access pass, or completed conference distribution.

independent DEF CON association, allocation, and credential boundary · maker README, engineering notes, and post-conference handoff · maker documents completed independent DC34 sales; official relationship and allocation unrecovered

The maker calls INSPECTRON 34 an unofficial community add-on and says about 20 of a 30-board run sold at DEF CON 34. No reviewed DEF CON organizer, registration, or BadgeLife source says DEF CON designed, issued, sponsored, sold, or distributed it; that it was included with registration; that it grants admission; or that any named attendee received one.

The record retains a source-backed completed independent event association without representing the add-on as an official Human badge, a conference credential, a ticket benefit, or an audited distribution run.

independent DEF CON association, availability, pickup, and credential boundary · first-hand maker announcement and official project site · planned pre-event DEF CON 34 presence; order and handoff outcomes unverified

The maker announcement says the team is bringing a new revision to DEF CON 34, plans online availability and BadgeLife Village pickup, and says there will be no on-site sales. No reviewed source for this record says DEF CON designed, issued, endorsed, or will distribute the device; authorizes a vendor role; gives it an admission/access function; confirms price, inventory, a sale, pickup, shipment, recipient, delivery, return, replacement, or post-event result.

The catalogue records a real maker-announced DEF CON-associated BadgeLife artifact without representing it as an official Human badge, conference credential, completed transaction, or guaranteed handoff.

independent DEF CON association, company authorization, allocation, and credential boundary · public project repository and README · pre-event independent source project; authorization and delivery unverified

The repository title uses DC34 and its README banner reads “Join CompuNet & Critical Start at Defcon!”, which supports a source-backed event association and names those organizations in project media. No reviewed DEF CON, CompuNet, or Critical Start source authorizes the project, names a maker or sponsor relationship, confirms a booth or pickup, identifies a seller/price/quantity, says the kit was made or issued, grants conference admission, replaces the Human badge, or confirms any participant received it.

The catalogue classifies the artifact as a planned independent DC34-associated badge kit rather than an official DEF CON badge, a company-issued item, an authorized event activation, an access credential, or a completed distribution.

independent DEF CON association, production, allocation, and credential boundary · public repository and README · pre-event independent source project; authorization and handoff unverified

The repository README calls the project a DC-34 DEF CON badge, but no reviewed DEF CON organizer or event source confirms its author, authorization, sponsorship, booth, seller, price, run size, fabrication, recipient eligibility, registration inclusion, allocation, pickup, shipment, completed handoff, admission role, or post-event outcome.

The catalogue records a named, technically documented independent project without presenting it as an official DEF CON badge, an attendee entitlement, a credential, a completed physical run, or proof that any participant received one.

independent DEF CON/HRV association, availability, and credential boundary · maker repository description and official Ham Radio Village event page · maker-associated planned project; official relationship and handoff unverified

The maker repository description says it is building an SSTV #badgelife badge for HRV at DEFCON 34, while Ham Radio Village's official page confirms its DEF CON 34 programme. The official event page does not mention the repository or badge. No reviewed source establishes HRV or DEF CON commissioning, sponsorship, organizer authorization, booth/pickup, price, quantity, sale/giveaway, recipient criteria, allocation, completed handoff, admission role, or access-control function.

The catalogue classifies this as an independent planned project associated with the event context, not an HRV-issued or DEF CON-issued badge, a guaranteed attendee benefit, a venue-authorized activation, a Human badge, an access credential, or proof that anyone received a physical unit.

independent EFF relationship and donation-accounting boundary · primary organizer event listing · limited to published organizer statement

The FAQ says the project is EFF-affiliated but independently organized by H4r0ld and V3rbaal, and the listing says proceeds support EFF's mission. It does not publish the product's ownership, payment processing, donation percentage or timing, beneficiary receipt, accounting, or EFF product-management terms.

The catalogue records the organizer's exact public relationship and benefit statements without presenting independent organizers as EFF staff, claiming an EFF retail product, or inferring unannounced donation details.

independent badge and role-allocation classification · primary maker storefront source · documented pre-event

The storefront markets an independent badge with Acolyte, Glyph, Elder God, and redacted Cthulhu roles, while official DEF CON Human-badge registration is separate. It does not establish role counts, all distribution sites, final participant availability, or official DEF CON credential status.

The record is connected to DEF CON 34 for BadgeLife discovery while remaining distinct from the official Human badge and from unverified role/allocation claims.

independent meetup and DEF CON credential boundary · first-hand Team announcement and official checkout · independent community meetup artifact

The Team says its meetup is free, badges are optional, and an actual DEF CON badge is not needed for the first Wednesday gathering. The checkout labels the item for DEF CON 34 and offers a possible arranged DEF CON handoff, but neither source makes Puzzled Hackers a DEF CON organizer, says the LED badge is included with registration, grants conference access, replaces a Human badge, or proves conference/venue authorization.

The catalogue models a real Puzzled Hackers community badge associated with DEF CON 34 while keeping it distinct from official admission, organizer issuance, and verified event access.

independent monorail, DEF CON, and credential boundary · primary maker storefront and first-person announcement · independent DEF CON 34-associated maker product

The maker explicitly says the project is not affiliated with the Las Vegas Monorail, and its sources frame pickup at DEF CON as a community handoff. No reviewed source says it includes a monorail ticket, transit discount, transit-company approval, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference registration, event access, a substitute for a Human badge, or organizer support.

The catalogue treats this as an independent themed badge, not a transit artifact, fare instrument, official DEF CON credential, admission item, or sponsored product.

license and image-provenance boundary · GitHub repository metadata and source-tree review · no detected repository license or rights-cleared image trail

GitHub reports no detected repository license, and the reviewed repository provides no root license, release, explicit artifact-image permission, selected factual unit image, image attribution, or processing provenance. Code visibility, a GitHub handle, or any repository media would not independently grant image reuse.

The badge remains image-free and the code is linked as evidence rather than treated as a license grant, image-reuse permission, or complete open-hardware release.

live challenge, scoreboard, and data-handling scope · official storefront statement · public concept only

The storefront announces a live hacking challenge, stages, and a scoreboard but provides no public rules, technical guide, challenge catalog, scoring integrity model, accessibility accommodations, account/privacy notice, retention policy, service availability, moderation, prize terms, or post-event result/archive.

The record keeps the organizer-published challenge framing discoverable without assuring a particular technical experience, safe data practice, fair scoring, accessibility, availability, or a final public result.

maker-announcement and technical-archive gap · first-hand maker announcement · no public repository or technical release recovered

The recovered evidence is one first-hand Reddit announcement and its comments. No official project site, hardware repository, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, firmware source/binary, build documentation, cryptography documentation, protocol specification, license, or post-event report was recovered.

The dossier records direct maker claims while withholding a reproducible architecture, complete evidence trail, or independent technical corroboration.

maker-post, repository, and project-identity boundary · shared public project name across two sources · physical maker post and repository context retained without account-identity merge

The first-person Reddit post names Cyb3rBytes404 while the GitHub namespace/repository uses the same project name, but neither reviewed source links the Reddit account to the GitHub account or identifies a legal person, nonprofit entity, hardware author, code author, manufacturer, or project owner across both surfaces.

The catalogue can cite the corroborating project-name trail without stating that u/ProfessionalPea2218 controls Cyb3rBytes404 on GitHub, authored all code, or holds any formal nonprofit, DEF CON, or media-rights role.

manufacture, allocation, and distribution boundary · dated first-party project commit · 1,000-made claim recorded; final run and handoff unrecovered

The July 18 commit message says Version 0.1 - FINAL: art, code, and PCB. 1000 made for DEFCON34. It does not publish fabrication invoices, a final-unit photo set tied to all units, serial or revision inventory, batch test data, a recipient or order list, price, pickup point, mailing terms, access role, actual delivery, or post-event outcome.

Readers can find the direct maker claim without treating its quantity as an independently audited manufacturing total, a promise to a particular attendee, a distribution ledger, or proof that the event handoff occurred.

minibadge configuration, headers, power, and safety documentation gap · maker product wording and repository README · holder behavior and interface need final documentation

The sources say six minibadges, headers requiring soldering, optional battery holder, USB-or-battery power, development-pin access, and clock-labelled pins, but do not establish the MiniBadge connector/pinout/protocol/voltage/current behavior, slot dimensions, supported badge population, per-slot power budget, hot-plug behavior, headers supplied, assembly steps, soldering/ESD/battery safety, current draw, runtime, charging, protection, test coverage, or compatibility guarantees.

Readers can identify a real electronic holder without treating it as universally interchangeable, electrically safe, mechanically compatible, or ready to use with every minibadge.

minibadge configuration, headers, power, and safety documentation gap · maker product wording and repository README · holder behavior and interface need final documentation

The sources say five minibadges, headers requiring soldering, optional battery holder, USB-or-battery power, and clock-labelled pins, but do not establish the MiniBadge connector/pinout/protocol/voltage/current behavior, slot dimensions, supported badge population, per-slot power budget, hot-plug behavior, headers supplied, assembly steps, soldering/ESD/battery safety, current draw, runtime, charging, protection, test coverage, or compatibility guarantees.

Readers can identify a real electronic holder without treating it as universally interchangeable, electrically safe, mechanically compatible, or ready to use with every minibadge.

no-MCU, QR/external-service, design-source, and support boundary · live maker listing and current public-source review · no-code and QR-search claims published; technical/service terms unrecovered

The listing says the badge has no MCU or firmware and that its QR code opens a Google Maps Boba Shop search. The reviewed product trail does not publish the QR payload, any app/service policy, data handling, a schematic, PCB/Gerber/BOM, formal revision history, source license, support process, repair path, warranty, or a guarantee that the external search will remain available or suitable in a particular place.

The catalogue records the stated no-MCU and QR-search feature without inventing firmware, treating the QR as an audited or privacy-neutral service, claiming an open design, or promising product support.

online-cap, pickup, QR-claim, and fulfillment boundary · official checkout and Team announcement · online allocation exhausted; handoff still pre-event

The official checkout says online stock is exhausted and no shipping is offered; the Team describes a capped paid allocation, meetup/arranged handoff, and offline QR claims. The future pickup dates and community terms do not prove paid orders, production completion, QR receipt, collector identity, pickup, alternate handoff, delivery, refund, or support outcome.

The catalogue records a real sold-out online offer without converting it into a complete production or fulfillment report.

party access and DEF CON credential boundary · official event/storefront wording · independent party access context

FloridaMan's official pages frame it as a Florida-themed party at DEF CON and say party entry is badge-only, but do not identify the party as a DEF CON-organized event, describe coordination with DEF CON registration, say the listed product is DEF CON's Human badge, or grant access to DEF CON itself.

The catalogue records a DEF CON-adjacent independent party badge rather than representing it as conference registration, an official convention credential, or a substitute for a valid DEF CON badge.

physical artifact and electronics documentation gap · primary product and storefront pages · identity/access artifact only

The official sources call the item a badge but provide no physical design or technical description. They do not document whether it is printed, wearable, token-like, electronic, programmable, connected, rechargeable, or capable of running the announced challenge.

The record does not invent a PCB, microcontroller, firmware, lanyard, RFID/NFC, app, radio, or other device properties from the word badge alone.

physical form, hardware, and software documentation gap · primary organizer sources · needs technical documentation

The Eventbrite material calls Electric Fist a BadgeLife design but does not describe its physical form, material, electronics, power, PCB, connector, firmware, source, binary, flashing path, protocol, interaction design, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, or license terms.

The record does not turn a BadgeLife title, fundraiser context, or pickup plan into an electronic-badge claim, engineering specification, software feature list, or reusable technical archive.

physical hardware, MCU, power, and SAO-interface boundary · commit-pinned README and Arduino-source review · firmware source published; physical artifact and interface unverified

The README and sketch establish a named OWASP DefCon 34 SAO firmware project, 15 source-level pixel positions, three source-level PTC nodes, and an UPDI statement. They do not identify the microcontroller, LEDs, touch electrodes, PCB, schematic, BOM, board revision, SAO version or pinout, orientation, voltage/current budget, power source, protection, assembly, fabrication, test record, host compatibility, electrical safety, compliance, or a physical unit.

The catalogue records the actual firmware trail without treating source pins or library use as a finished, safe, fabricated, standard-compliant, or plug-and-play add-on.

physical hardware, component, SAO interface, and safety boundary · commit-pinned KiCad, schematic, PCB, and Gerber review · design-source files published; physical build and compatibility unverified

The source tree contains KiCad/PCB/schematic/Gerber files with a generic 2×3 connector and LED/resistor-labelled entries, but no factual assembled-unit photo, component values, pinout, orientation, SAO version, voltage/current budget, polarity/protection, power source, controller, LED behavior, PCB revision, fabrication order, assembly record, electrical test, host test, safety/compliance evidence, or final-unit configuration. The files do not prove a working or compatible add-on.

The catalogue retains a concrete design-file trail without representing it as a fabricated, tested, safe, standards-compliant, or plug-and-play accessory.

physical hardware, configuration, and production boundary · repository description, commit-pinned code review, and first-person commit history · source-level project with limited local-test claims; physical artifact unverified

The repository names a Waveshare RP2040-Zero and the publisher's dated commits report local hardware smoke, display, input, switch, and buzzer stages. The reviewed public material provides no factual assembled-unit photo, PCB, schematic, BOM, Gerber, power/battery design, component configuration, display selection, enclosure, fabrication record, production-test report, electrical-safety result, SAO interface/pinout, host test, run size, or delivery evidence. The catalogue does not turn source paths or first-person test claims into a confirmed physical badge.

Readers can discover the exact source project and its limited publisher-reported hardware work without mistaking either for a completed, compatible, safe, manufactured, or distributed event artifact.

planned badge, price, stock, and on-site fulfillment boundary · public self-submission and current event timing · pre-event $80 on-site sale statement; outcome unconfirmed

The public roster says RTV D20 is new, will be sold on site through Red Team Village, and costs $80, while the event page places the Village at DEF CON 34 later that week. Sources do not establish final price, inventory, production completion, payment, location/time, event authorization, pickup, shipment, recipients, refund, replacement, support, or completed sale.

The record preserves a concrete pre-event acquisition statement without treating it as a finished distribution, retail outcome, or attendee entitlement.

planned drop, manufacture, distribution, and event-fulfillment boundary · first-hand project posts · drops and event experience announced, not outcome-confirmed

The maker says it intends to distribute badges through drops and describes a planned DEF CON 34 experience, but publishes no run size, price, sales channel, eligibility, pickup/shipping process, production record, final count, recipient list, timing, refund/replacement policy, or completed handoff evidence.

The catalogue records a real planned artifact system without representing it as manufactured, acquired, delivered, stocked, or experienced by a confirmed attendee population.

planned run, donation, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker and organizer source wording · 40-unit plan and may-receive process published; outcomes unconfirmed

AoSC plans 40 brass coins and says a $100-or-greater qualifying donation may receive one; the event had not yet occurred in this source pass. Sources do not establish completed production, exact inventory, donation validation, number approved, recipient allocation, item serials, pickup location/time, mail fulfillment, shipping cost, loss/replacement, refund, support, student-blank allocation, or post-event availability.

The catalogue records the announced limited-run and philanthropic path without treating it as a completed sale, charitable outcome, manufactured quantity, or delivery report.

planned v2, price, preorder, and fulfillment boundary · public maker roster and first-hand maker thread · Coming soon and $20 wording published; outcome unconfirmed

The roster calls the item an update to an existing SAO, says Coming soon, and gives $20; the maker thread says v2 will use surface-mounted parts and later mentions direct-message preorders plus local handoff. Sources do not establish final design, inventory, final price, manufacture, payment, event authorization, sale location/time, pickup, shipping, refunds, replacement, support, or completed distribution.

The catalogue records a concrete pre-event maker announcement without presenting it as a completed DEF CON sale, a guaranteed preorder, or an attendee entitlement.

planning, prototype, manufacture, and final-unit boundary · commit-pinned README, hardware tree, and dated project-status document · design source published; prototype and production evidence unrecovered

The public source contains a README and native KiCad files, but its dated status document continues to list outstanding main-board, prototype-order, first-power-on, and firmware milestones. No reviewed source provides fabrication order records, board photographs with provenance, prototype report, build log, component procurement record, assembly/test result, release candidate, manufacturing run, shipping/pickup evidence, serial/revision log, or post-event confirmation.

Public design files are preserved as evidence of a planned artifact without being presented as proof of a fabricated, functioning, final, distributed, or event-deployed badge.

post-event allocation and production boundary · official wrap-up, badge sale notice, and post-conference support page · event completed; aggregate allocation and manufacturing record unrecovered

DEF CON's official news says DEF CON 34 wrapped and records a Sunday spare-badge sale, while the official support page documents the issued badge's continuing use. Neither page publishes an attendee/recipient list, total issue count, role-variant inventory, manufacturing batch trace, per-unit configuration, handoff evidence for every preregistration, repair/replacement policy, or post-event support commitment.

The catalogue can treat the official electronic Human badge as completed without implying that every registration produced the same physical unit, that every holder received or retained one, or that a public source proves a complete manufacturing and fulfillment record.

power, motion, LED, factory-test, and electrical-safety boundary · public README and project documentation · behavior and target components documented; safety/test outcome unverified

The README documents LED modes, motion sensing, factory-test logic, inactivity behavior, watchdog recovery, and notes that bright test output can draw substantial current, but the reviewed sources do not establish final battery type/capacity, power-path or charging design, current budget, voltage limits, thermal behavior, fault testing, LED/sensor calibration, optical/sensory guidance, ESD/protection design, certification, user safety instructions, or factory test results.

Public firmware behavior is not a battery-runtime guarantee, electrical-safety endorsement, factory-pass record, motion-accuracy claim, or safe-modification instruction.

power, thermal, electrical, and host-safety documentation gap · maker-documented design but incomplete validation material · needs final engineering and test evidence

The README describes a 3.3 V-to-5 V boost arrangement, automatic USB-C path behavior, ESD parts, capacitors, and host-badge power use, but the reviewed sources do not provide a final board revision, operating limits, current budget, inrush/thermal tests, host power compatibility testing, USB-C configuration details, fault tests, certification, or a safe assembly/modification guide.

The record does not convert a component/design narrative into a safety endorsement, universal host-power guarantee, electrical specification, or modification instruction.

pre-event DEF CON 34 pickup and sales-state boundary · primary maker storefront source · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The current $75 listing is marked OUT with zero remaining and 15 sold, says new stock is available for DEF CON 34 pickup, and lists DEF CON 34 as its drop. The event has not yet occurred, so this does not confirm final manufacture, physical pickup, recipient count, or post-event availability.

The catalogue records a source-backed sold-out pre-event offer without changing sales counters into a completed fulfillment report.

pre-event activation and delivery boundary · official product page · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The official page schedules BENDER challenge availability and activation instructions for August 7, 2026, and says philanthropist badges will ship by early August. DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred, and no completed activation, delivery, challenge, or post-event badge report is public.

The catalogue records announced game and logistics context, not a completed physical run, completed server activation, delivered firmware, or observed attendee experience.

pre-event allocation, availability, and credential boundary · official FirstBuild repository, DEF CON event source, and first-person public announcement · 100-free-badge daily giveaway announced; event outcome unverified

A public r/Defcon author says another 100 free badges are planned at the stated GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, with an unspecified number per day. The reviewed sources do not establish an exact daily allocation, dates or hours, eligibility, ticket tier, queue or pickup process, recipient list, final physical stock, completed giveaway, or the author's employment and official booth authority. DEF CON separately announces a Baochip Human badge, not this washer/dryer project.

The catalogue records the specific public 100-badge pre-event plan while treating the artifact as a distinct FirstBuild / GE Appliances project associated with DEF CON 34, not an official Human badge, universal attendee entitlement, registration credential, organizer-issued artifact, confirmed event availability, or completed distribution.

pre-event availability, distribution, and credential boundary · maker announcement and official event context · maker-stated limited plans; fulfillment unconfirmed

The project owner describes constrained giveaway, at-cost sale, and blank-board intentions for the conference but not final inventory, pricing, transaction method, pickup time/place, recipient list, manufacturer, delivery, refund, support, or completed handoff. DEF CON's official registration source does not identify Station 562 as issued, included, or authorized.

Station 562 is modelled as an independent pre-event BadgeLife project associated with DEF CON 34, not an organizer-issued Human badge, admission item, universal attendee benefit, or confirmed on-floor distribution.

pre-event availability, distribution, and fulfillment boundary · maker repository source only · public technical project documented; distribution outcome unreported

The public project repository was created in June and updated in July 2026, but the reviewed source does not specify a price, sales page, giveaway/drop plan, run size, inventory, recipient scope, pickup location/time, shipping, handoff, support, replacement, or post-event availability. The conference had not yet occurred during this source pass.

The catalogue records a real public project without portraying it as a completed physical distribution, a universally available SAO, a confirmed sale/giveaway, or a completed DEF CON handoff.

pre-event availability, shipment, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · maker product listing and current event timing · seller terms published; outcome not recovered

The live listing is on sale at $120 and publishes July pickup/shipping targets, but DEF CON 34 has not yet begun in this source pass. The listing does not prove final stock, orders, manufacture, carrier handoff, local collection, remote arrival, event attendance, refunds, replacements, support, or delivery to any particular holder.

Readers can distinguish an active maker listing and planned timeframes from a completed DEF CON distribution or a finished production report.

pre-event drop, production, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; event/drop outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with 25 sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. These source states do not establish final manufacture, exact drop allocation, payment completion, physical stock, handoff, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event support outcome.

The catalogue preserves a real current offer without claiming a completed DEF CON distribution or fulfilled collector population.

pre-event drop, production, remediation, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; event/drop outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with 11 sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. The listing also states a possible pre-event refund or after-event-shipping remedy if prototype issues persist. None of that proves final manufacture, allocated stock, exact drop quantity, payment completion, defect resolution, receipt, refund, shipping, delivery, or support outcome.

The catalogue preserves current offer and remediation language without converting it into a completed DEF CON distribution report.

pre-event drop, production, revision, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product and first-hand maker announcement · listing is sold out; v1.1 and event outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace is currently out with seven sold and no remaining units, and Lepi Labs announces scheduled drops. The listing says v1.1 boards were ordered and describes a possible refund or after-event-shipping remedy if issues persist. This does not prove final manufacture, v1.1 validation, drop stock, payment completion, correction outcome, handoff, refund, shipping, delivery, or support outcome.

The catalogue retains current offer and remedy language without claiming completed distribution or a finalized production run.

pre-event giveaway, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · first-person maker post · small-batch non-sale giveaway announced; outcome unverified

The maker says the run is small, not for sale, and intended for random giveaway throughout ‘the con,’ but publishes no quantity, build-completion record, eligibility, allocation method, dates/times, pickup point, recipient list, delivery, loss/replacement terms, or post-event confirmation.

The entry records a planned independent distribution model without presenting an announced free giveaway as manufactured stock, a confirmed recipient benefit, a completed DEF CON handoff, or a public fulfillment ledger.

pre-event manufacture, acquisition, and DEF CON association boundary · maker-owned public repository · planned source project; event outcome unconfirmed

The maker-owned repository explicitly frames the project for DEFCON 34, but no reviewed source states a final fabrication run, price, seller, quantity, acquisition method, pickup/drop, recipient, delivered unit, schedule appearance, or post-event result. It also does not identify DEF CON as the project organizer or say the SAO includes registration or access.

The catalogue records a real, explicitly DC34-associated public design without upgrading it into an official badge, a conference credential, a completed physical distribution, or a sale/fulfillment claim.

pre-event manufacture, allocation, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · live maker page and public source trail · limited presale/prices published; event outcome undocumented

BigFuckingBadge currently advertises limited/open presale at $120 before DEF CON 34 and $150 through hackerwarehouse during the con, while public commits document current software final-code-check and acrylic work. The reviewed sources do not establish a placed order, payment, stock count, planned quantity, allocation, event table, pickup/drop, shipping, completed manufacture, attendee delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event outcome.

The catalogue preserves a live maker offer and active DC34 design trail without turning either into evidence of units built, distributed, sold, collected, or received.

pre-event pickup and fulfillment boundary · primary storefront source · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The storefront currently marks the $60 Original option OUT with zero remaining and 20 sold and names Def Con 34 Badge Pickup. Those listing counters establish a sold-out upcoming offer, not completed manufacture, physical handoff, recipient count, or post-event behavior.

The catalogue records a documented pre-event marketplace run without converting sales-state evidence into a delivery report.

pre-event pickup and fulfillment boundary · primary organizer event listing · awaiting DEF CON 34 outcome

The organizer announces online-order pickup at Demo Labs from 10 AM to noon on Friday and Saturday, and says unclaimed orders will be donated. DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred at this source pass, so the listing does not confirm manufacture, handoff, recipient count, missed-pickup donation, or final availability.

The catalogue preserves the announced distribution plan without converting it into a completed delivery or event report.

pre-event pickup, refund, and fundraiser-outcome boundary · primary organizer listing · scheduled current fundraiser

The current offer is scheduled for August 7-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and says pickup only at the BTV Infobooth, with no refunds after August 10. DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred at this source pass, so those terms do not prove final sales, kit availability, assembly volume, pickup, missed-order handling, delivery, charity accounting, or event outcome.

The catalogue records BTV's current terms and 501(c)(3) purpose without converting them into proof of fulfilled orders, completed donations, or a finished event.

pre-event pickup, stock, and fulfillment boundary · first-party marketplace source · pickup-only terms and tentative times published; outcome unconfirmed

The listing shows $10, six sold, 44 remaining, pickup-only terms, and times marked as pre-con and potentially not yet posted/live. It does not establish final manufacture, inventory, timing, collection, refund, support, or a completed handoff.

The catalogue preserves a current pre-event offer without presenting it as a completed DEF CON distribution.

pre-event presale, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · primary maker listing · active presale marketplace snapshot

The live $150 listing is marked PRE with 5 sold and 95 remaining, and presents four DEF CON 34 pickup labels. It does not publish dates, precise handoff locations, shipping options, production count, final configuration, order confirmation, or post-event fulfillment results; DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred at this source pass.

The catalogue records current seller-published marketplace terms without converting them into proof of completed manufacture, purchase, delivery, meetup attendance, or convention-wide distribution.

pre-event price, stock, and fulfillment boundary · maker page, public self-submission, and current event timing · limited presale and $20 claim published; outcome not recovered

BigFuckingBadge advertises a limited DEF CON 34 presale, and its page plus the DFIU roster row give $20 context, but DEF CON 34 has not yet begun in this source pass. Sources do not establish inventory, order/payment outcome, completed manufacture, packing, shipment, pickup, on-site sale, recipient count, refund, replacement, support, or final delivery.

Readers can distinguish public pre-event availability language from a completed sale, finished production run, or confirmed holder handoff.

pre-event price, stock, and fulfillment boundary · maker page, public self-submission, and current event timing · limited presale and $20 claim published; outcome not recovered

BigFuckingBadge advertises a limited DEF CON 34 presale, and its page plus the Portal Gun roster row give $20 context, but DEF CON 34 has not yet begun in this source pass.

pre-event price, stock, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · live first-party product page · observed $45 sold out; DEF CON pickup condition published

The live listing showed $45 and sold out, and says DEF CON pickup applies only to planned August 6-8 collection, but the event had not yet occurred in this source pass. The source does not establish stock count, paid order count, final manufacture, fulfillment email, exact pickup location/time, drop execution, recipient allocation, completed handoff, shipment, refund, replacement, warranty, or post-event availability.

The catalogue preserves an observed marketplace state and intended pickup path without presenting it as a completed limited run or delivery report.

pre-event price, stock, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · live first-party product page · observed $12 available; conditional pickup published

The live v2 listing showed $12 and available, and says DEF CON pickup applies only to planned August 6-8 collection, but the event had not yet occurred in this source pass. Sources do not establish inventory, paid orders, manufacture, pickup-email delivery, exact handoff time/location, receipt, shipment, refund, replacement, support, or final recipient allocation.

The catalogue preserves a current marketplace snapshot and intended pickup path without presenting either as completed production or delivery.

pre-event price, stock, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · live first-party product page · observed $12 available; conditional pickup published

The live v1 listing showed $12 and available, and says DEF CON pickup applies only to planned August 6-8 collection, but the event had not yet occurred in this source pass. Sources do not establish inventory, paid orders, manufacture, pickup-email delivery, exact handoff time/location, receipt, shipment, refund, replacement, support, or final recipient allocation.

The catalogue preserves a current marketplace snapshot and intended pickup path without presenting either as completed production or delivery.

pre-event production, availability, and fulfillment boundary · primary maker storefront · stated limited run; current variant unavailable

The maker says only 100 $75 units are planned and the public product payload currently reports the only variant unavailable, but the payload provides no inventory count. Neither source proves a final production quantity, sold count, payment state, assembly completion, shipment, pickup, recipient, delivery, replacement, refund, or post-event outcome.

The catalogue records the maker's limited-run and currently-unavailable state without translating it into a sold-out claim or a fulfillment report.

pre-event quantity, drop, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker self-submission · 500-unit giveaway announced; outcome unconfirmed

NilbinSec says it will give away 500 Power Glove SAOs at DEF CON and announces a social-media/Badgelife-Village drop path, but the event had not occurred during this source pass. The source does not establish finished quantity, production completion, inventory, exact schedule/location, village authorization, pickup, recipient allocation, completed handoff, lost-item replacement, support, or post-event availability.

The catalogue preserves the planned free giveaway without treating it as a completed run, confirmed attendee entitlement, universal handout, or delivered artifact.

pre-event quantity, village transfer, drop, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker self-submission · 1,000-unit giveaway announced; outcome unconfirmed

NilbinSec says it will give out 1,000 PAC MAN Ghost SAOs for free, announces social-media drops, and says a supply will transfer to villages, but the event had not yet occurred in this source pass. The sources do not establish finished quantity, stock, village acceptance/authorization, drop times/locations, handoff, recipient allocation, completed distribution, replacement, support, or post-event availability.

The catalogue records an announced free distribution rather than a completed, universally accessible, organizer-provided, or delivered artifact.

pre-event sale, drop, manufacture, and fulfillment boundary · first-party marketplace source · availability and drop labels published; outcome unconfirmed

The marketplace shows a $50 price and a seller state of 15 sold from a listed total of 100, plus named drop labels, but no reviewed source proves final production, exact inventory, payment completion, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, support, or a final collector population.

The catalogue preserves a dated seller snapshot without converting it into a completed DEF CON or Hacker Summer Camp distribution report.

pre-event sale, manufacture, handout, and fulfillment boundary · first-party product, repository, and diary · sale and DEFCON34 handout intent published; outcome unconfirmed

The listing shows $50, 43 sold, and 57 remaining; the repository and diary describe online sale and planned handout/pickup at DEFCON34. Those claims do not prove final fabrication, final revision, exact allocation, payment, attendee handoff, shipping, delivery, refund, replacement, support, or a completed event outcome.

The catalogue preserves a current, well-documented planned artifact without presenting it as a shipped or universally received conference item.

pre-event sale, pickup, mail, refund, and fulfillment boundary · first-party marketplace source · availability and pickup terms published; outcome unconfirmed

The listing shows a $24 price and a seller state of 19 sold from a listed total of 23, announced Booth pickup times, and a mail-or-refund alternative for missed drops. It does not establish final run size, paid-order ledger, exact pickup allocation, attendee collection, shipment, delivery, refund completion, post-event support, or a completed distribution.

The catalogue preserves public offer terms without implying that all orders or drops were successfully fulfilled.

pre-event sale, pickup, shipping, and fulfillment boundary · first-party marketplace source · availability and acquisition terms published; outcome unconfirmed

The listing shows $20, eight sold, 92 remaining, three pickup labels, and post-event CONUS shipping. It does not establish final manufacture, inventory, payment, handoff, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, support, or a completed distribution.

The catalogue preserves a dated seller snapshot without treating it as a completed event or mail fulfillment report.

pre-event sale, pickup, stock, and fulfillment boundary · first-party marketplace source · availability and pickup terms published; outcome unconfirmed

The listing shows $20, 20 sold, ten remaining, a free Saturday pickup label, and DEF CON 34/BSidesLV pre-order pickup wording. It does not establish final manufacture, stock, payment, handoff, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, support, or a completed distribution.

The catalogue preserves a dated seller snapshot without representing it as a completed event handoff.

pre-event sale, stock, fulfillment, and party-outcome boundary · primary current listing · out of stock; outcome undocumented

The official listing currently shows a $90 product as out of stock and says it is no longer shipping, while the party has not yet occurred in this source pass. The reviewed pages do not establish previous order count, buyer communication, delivery, pickup, replacements, transfer/refund handling, final guest list, door implementation, venue capacity, schedule changes, or actual attendance.

A live/pre-event commerce snapshot is not presented as proof that badges were delivered, an access promise was honored, or the party/challenge happened as announced.

pre-event sales, pickup, and closing-ceremony donation boundary · primary maker listing · sold-out pre-event marketplace snapshot

The live listing shows $80, 80 sold, and zero remaining, and says badges are pickup only with drops at BadgeLife Village and announced LVCC locations; missed drops are said to be donated at closing ceremonies. DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred at this source pass, so those terms do not confirm final construction, actual handoff, schedule execution, donation, recipient, or attendee outcome.

The catalogue records the seller's current marketplace state and stated policy without converting them into evidence of completed fulfillment or an event-wide distribution result.

pre-event sales, price, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker self-submission and live seller listing · approximately $35 DEF CON channel announced; $30 marketplace state observed; outcome unconfirmed

The roster says the current event sale is approximately $35 through Hacker Warehouse, while the live Tindie listing displays $30. The event had not yet occurred in this source pass, and neither source identifies shared stock, units, sales completion, availability at a particular booth, payment, recipient/buyer allocation, pickup, shipping, replacement, warranty, or support.

The catalogue preserves both published price contexts without treating either as a completed transaction, guaranteed inventory, final price, DEF CON entitlement, or delivery outcome.

pre-event sales, price, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · maker self-submission · approximately $125 channel announced; outcome unconfirmed

The roster says the current Original Series Tricorder badge will be sold on-site through Hacker Warehouse for approximately $125, but the event had not yet begun. The source does not establish seller inventory, booth location, final price, units, payment, buyer allocation, pickup, shipping, delivery, replacement, refund, support, warranty, or a completed retail arrangement.

The catalogue records an announced acquisition path rather than a completed sale, guaranteed stock, organizer-provided benefit, or delivered item.

pre-sale capacity, availability, and pickup fulfillment boundary · primary maker marketplace payload and maker technical archive · 125-total pre-sale; current 125-sold/zero-remaining snapshot

The marketplace payload reports a 125-total $55 pre-sale, 125 sold, zero remaining, no shipping options, and DEF CON 34 contest-booth pickup. The source repository says its production files are the exact outputs from which a run was built, but neither source proves payment settlement, assembly/quality control of all 125, pickup logistics, customer notice, collection, replacement, refund, delivery, or a post-event outcome.

The catalogue records both the observable availability snapshot and the maker-published production-file claim without translating either into a sold-and-delivered production report.

pre-sale, pickup, shipping, and fulfillment boundary · primary live maker marketplace payload · 100-total pre-sale; observed 41-sold snapshot

The maker payload reports a $120 100-unit presale with 41 sold, DC34 pickup, post-con shipping, an at-con price plan, and an uncollected-pickup donation statement. It does not establish a final production count, paid-order ledger, shipping window, pickup location/time, booth authorization, recipient, forfeiture process, donation recipient/amount, delivery, refund, replacement, or post-event result.

The catalogue retains the seller's current acquisition terms without presenting them as a completed run, confirmed onsite sale, guaranteed shipping/pickup, or verified charitable transfer.

pre-sale, pickup, winner-copy, and fulfillment boundary · primary marketplace payload and repository · 150-total pre-sale; observed 28-sold snapshot

The marketplace payload reports $45, 150 total, 28 sold, 122 remaining, no shipping, and two future DEF CON 34 pickup labels, while the repository says winners receive copies while supplies last. Neither source establishes final manufacture, paid-order ledger, inventory allocation, pickup execution, delivery, winner count, award outcome, refund/replacement, or post-event availability.

The catalogue preserves announced independent acquisition paths without converting a live counter or contest promise into a confirmed completed distribution.

preorder fulfillment, allocation, and DEF CON credential boundary · official programme site, current sold-out listing, and past-dated pickup schedules · sold-out preorder and planned September shipping published; delivery outcome unrecovered

The listing says paid orders will be assembled and shipped by September 30 and schedules offered blank-PCB pickup during DEF CON 2026. It does not publish an order or recipient ledger, run size, production status, per-order payment, assembly record, shipment tracking, delivery, collected-versus-uncollected blank count, replacement policy, or completed handoff. The listing expressly says this badge does not get a holder into DEF CON.

The catalogue retains the current sold-out preorder and stated fulfillment window without calling it a shipped badge, a completed recipient allocation, a DEF CON Human badge, or a DEF CON admission credential.

preorder, extras, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · primary maker storefront and corroborating first-person post · preorders stated sold out; possible extras mentioned

The maker currently says preorders are sold out, may have a few extras to trade in person, and will email pickup details to preorder customers; a linked first-person post says no shipping and DEF CON pickups. The sources do not identify a final production quantity, availability of extras, payment state, recipient list, pickup location/time, event authorization, trade terms, handoff, delivery, replacement, refund, or post-event outcome.

The catalogue records a live sold-out and pickup-oriented source state without turning it into a confirmed fulfilled run or a guaranteed opportunity to acquire an extra.

proceeds, beneficiary, and accounting boundary · primary maker product statement · stated excess-proceeds intention only

The maker says proceeds in excess of manufacturing costs are intended to support Bind's family and remaining medical costs. The public page does not identify a recipient/legal entity, authorization, cost basis, amount, transfer mechanism, payment timing, tax treatment, accounting, audit, or post-event disbursement result.

The catalogue preserves the public maker intention without presenting it as a completed charitable transfer, family endorsement, financial audit, tax determination, or quantified benefit.

prototype, component, power, and final-revision gap · first-hand project diary and repository · ongoing project; final unit not established

The diary documents prototype r1 testing, a discovered IMU power-pin error/high-draw investigation, screen mechanical interference, and expected changes; the repository describes later processor revisions and broad component plans. No reviewed source proves the exact final PCB/population, LED count, assembly quality, power profile, thermal behavior, sensor calibration, durability, production test result, or compliance record for sold units.

Readers can see substantive development evidence without mistaking a working or revised prototype trail for a finished, safety-qualified production specification.

radio monitoring, false-positive, privacy, and regulatory boundary · current listing and reviewed source code · feature family documented with operational limits unknown

The listing describes display cues for deauthentication activity and nearby Flipper Zeros. The older source uses Wi-Fi promiscuous filtering/channel hopping and BLE prefix matching, but the sources do not establish a final 2026 scan configuration, detection accuracy, false-positive/false-negative rate, nearby-device identity proof, RF performance, user notice/consent model, data retention behavior, venue policy, certification, or jurisdiction-wide legality.

The dossier does not characterize the badge as a reliable detector, a complete Flipper identifier, a private/passive tool in every context, a regulatory-approved radio, or operational guidance for monitoring nearby people/devices.

radio, BLE privacy, and regulatory-use boundary · maker product and technical documentation · requires operator, regional, and event-context assessment

The sources describe US 915 MHz LoRa, BLE companion-app pairing, a unique per-unit BLE PIN, source-published RF sweeps, and a low-transmit configuration. They do not provide radio-compliance evidence, region-specific operating/support terms, mesh-service or data-handling terms, privacy/security review, PIN recovery policy, threat model, event radio policy, or a claim that mesh traffic is private.

The catalogue does not expose individual credentials or turn maker radio/network statements into legal, privacy, security, compliance, or operational advice.

release, installed-firmware, and production-parity gap · public release surface and distribution guide · tagged release required by project guide; none public when reviewed

The distribution guide says each physical-badge firmware batch should correspond to a permanent tagged GitHub release and archive. The visible FirstBuild release and tag surfaces had no public entry on this source pass, so no final firmware binary, source archive, hash, build-to-badge mapping, release note, or installed-firmware provenance was established.

The catalogue does not treat repository main as a released production image, a firmware actually installed on badges, a reproducible event build, or a completed compliance archive.

revision, production, power, audio, and firmware-parity boundary · versioned maker hardware and firmware documentation · physical boards reported assembled; final design, validation, and per-unit state unrecovered

The repository distinguishes rev-1 and rev-2 details and documents an RP2040, microSD/local media, LiPo power path, 3.5 mm audio, LEDs, infrared, USB-C, and SAO. Reviewed sources do not provide a production manifest, serial/batch history, final BOM, exact cell/charger/protection configuration, electrical/thermal/audio test results, headphone or SAO compatibility matrix, safe-use guidance, compliance outcome, firmware signature/tag, source-to-unit hash, dependency audit, security review, final media set, recovery/support policy, or proof that every assembled badge matches a particular public revision.

The record preserves the documented hardware/software trail without treating it as a complete electrical specification, safety assessment, support promise, security claim, universal compatibility result, or unit-by-unit production record.

sensor, hardware, power, and electrical-safety documentation gap · current maker description is high-level only · various-sensors wording documented; implementation unreported

The current source says only that the planned badge features various sensors. It does not identify their types, data, accuracy, calibration, controller, display, LEDs, audio, radio, battery, charging, USB, connector, pinout, dimensions, materials, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, current/voltage limits, assembly/test procedure, compatibility, privacy behavior, electrical safety, or compliance. The historical SAO's battery/USB/LED notes are not mapped to the current badge.

The record avoids inventing a sensor suite, electronic design, power path, safety state, accessibility behavior, or data-collection capability from the badge name or historical product association.

shipping and fulfillment boundary · primary maker storefront source · needs delivery confirmation

The badge-only listing says badges ship in the second week of July, are US-only, and have no DEF CON pickup option. The product page does not independently confirm manufacture completion, carrier acceptance, delivery, recipient count, or any on-site distribution.

The catalogue preserves the seller-stated schedule and scope without converting it into confirmed pre-event or attendee delivery.

software, artwork, third-party, media, and trademark license boundary · root MIT license, README credit, and project documentation · software/documentation license published; other rights kept separate

The root MIT license covers software and associated documentation and names the DefCon 34 Badge Team, FirstBuild, and GE Appliances; the README separately credits Phil Back for artwork and the project includes third-party notices. No reviewed source expressly licenses the credited artwork, repository image, DEF CON name, FirstBuild or GE Appliances marks, event media, or every third-party asset for independent publication.

The catalogue can cite the software/documentation licensing trail while retaining image, artwork, logo, trademark, and dependency-specific rights boundaries.

soldering, 18650, USB-C, and hardware-safety specification boundary · official BadgeLife guide · parts and safety reminders documented; engineering validation unrecovered

The guide names a bodge wire, 3 mm LED, 1 kΩ resistor, polarized buzzer, single-cell 18650 battery, USB-C, charging/protection circuitry, SAO v2 headers, LEDs, and infrared receiver, and includes basic soldering cautions. It does not establish the schematic/BOM revision, component substitutions, battery chemistry/capacity or charger settings, voltage/current/thermal budgets, protection design, connector limits, SAO pinout/current limits, test procedure, failure analysis, compliance, manufacturing quality, or a safe assembly/use result.

The source-linked record retains the documented physical work without becoming a battery, soldering, USB, SAO, electrical, or repair endorsement.

source archive, binary, and software-release scope · MIT source archive · substantial earlier archive; current release scope undocumented

The repository supplies substantial DC32 Arduino, KiCad, Gerber, CAD, and documentation material under MIT, but has no identified final 2026 product release, signed binary, provisioning record, current-source compatibility statement, rollback/recovery guidance, or support lifecycle. Its quickstart says the CTF portion was a precompiled library whose source was to be released after DEF CON 32.

The catalogue links the preservation source without misrepresenting it as a complete, current, supported, reproducible 2026 field-update package or a full release of every historic CTF component.

source attribution, pre-event availability, and fulfillment boundary · single public post and official event-context source · announced offer; account relationship and outcome unverified

A public Reddit account names the badge, 100-unit plan, price, and Hall W4, while the official DEF CON forum confirms only the upcoming conference date and venue. No reviewed storefront, company announcement, vendor list, checkout, sales record, shipping/pickup terms, maker identity proof, production record, allocation, payment, receipt, delivery, refund, replacement, or attendee handoff evidence was recovered.

The catalogue records the concrete pre-event offer while leaving attribution, seller relationship, availability, sale, fulfillment, and event outcome explicitly unresolved.

source publication, physical unit, and fulfilment boundary · publisher-controlled repository · public project source; physical and distribution outcome unverified

A public repository provides concrete project documentation, but it does not establish a final manufactured unit, completed assembly, quantity, price, purchaser or attendee allocation, sale, giveaway, pickup, shipment, receipt, support, replacement, or a completed event handoff. A GitHub account name is recorded only as source attribution and is not treated as proof of a person, team, organizer, or party role.

The catalogue preserves a real source-documented electronic-badge project without presenting it as a delivered product, attendee issue, or verified physical run.

source-declared collaboration, event association, and credential boundary · maker repository, commit-pinned README, and official event calendar · maker-labelled DEF CON project; organizer and external collaboration confirmation unrecovered

NerdFlare's repository description uses iFixit DEFCON 2026 SAO wording, and its README calls the PCB art badge a collaboration among iFixit, Cal Poly NerdFlare, and znjp. DEF CON's official calendar establishes the August 6-9 Las Vegas event but does not name this project. The source set does not include a DEF CON organizer page or an iFixit-published page naming this particular artifact, nor does it publish event authorization, venue role, sale, giveaway, recipient, or credential detail.

The catalogue retains the named maker project and its source-declared collaboration without promoting it into a DEF CON-issued Human badge, a ticket benefit, an admission item, a confirmed sponsor deliverable, an externally verified iFixit product announcement, or a completed attendee handoff.

source-labelled generated product-media boundary · official storefront media filenames · not publishable under catalogue image policy

The current official storefront and product listing expose product-media filenames beginning Gemini_Generated_Image. Even if the files are visible on an official commerce page, their source labels make them generated imagery rather than cleared documentary photos or accepted upstream official raster artwork for this catalogue.

The catalogue preserves the product evidence and explains the image gap without treating generated marketing art as a picture of the actual badge or as an allowed public image asset.

source-to-2026-revision, production, and image-provenance boundary · maker announcement, project site, and repository release context · new-revision claim published; exact physical revision and cleared media unrecovered

The maker calls the DEF CON 34 device a new revision, while the reviewed electronics and case repositories show their own public source/release histories. No source maps those design files, a particular firmware label, part substitutions, colour/edition, case configuration, or manufacturing batch to each planned 2026 unit. Product, project, and repository images are not reused because no selected factual image is paired with complete source URL, reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The record remains image-free and source-conservative rather than treating open design files or promotional media as proof of exact 2026 unit parity or reusable catalogue artwork.

stock, replenishment, pickup, and fulfillment boundary · first-party storefront and maker announcement · sold out; future order and DEF CON pickup are stated as tentative

The current Tindie page is out of stock and says a new order is coming, with a hope of bringing units to DEF CON. The maker's Reddit comment/post describes possible buyer-arranged pickup and a shipping refund. The sources do not establish actual stock, production completion, unit count, order status, event arrival, handoff, shipping, refund, replacement, support, or completed distribution.

The catalogue preserves dated seller and maker intent without representing the item as available, delivered, or confirmed for DEF CON.

story, organization, authorship, and endorsement boundary · maker story and manufacturing wording only · creative and contributor context recorded; relationships unsubstantiated

AoSC's story references the British Museum and its own Sara Cladlow/T.E.C. characters, while its manufacturing section says Bradán Lane STUDIO engraved brass faces and unnamed local high-school students made brass blanks. No reviewed source establishes permission, affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, authorship allocation, artwork rights, relationship with the British Museum, relationship with a charity/school/DEF CON/CircuitPython, or media-reuse authority.

The dossier preserves source-named narrative and manufacturing context without assigning ownership, cultural/institutional relationship, approval, sponsorship, final manufacturing responsibility, or image rights beyond the published statements.

target revision, interface, compatibility, and authorization boundary · maker purpose statement and pre-event timing · built against initial public information; final compatibility unknown

The README says the SAO was designed from initial public information about the DEF CON 34 main badge and may be reflashed as challenge information develops. It does not establish that a final badge uses the same port wiring, pull states, wake signal, I²C behavior, firmware, protections, or challenge interface, or that an owner has permission to test it.

Readers should not treat the public source as a compatibility guarantee, a target-specific exploit claim, an endorsement to connect the SAO, or authorization to interact with another attendee's hardware.

third-party capture-ring geometry, mechanical-fit, port-orientation, and safety boundary · maker-published design; no independent fit or electrical verification · public pre-event STL design; physical outcome unverified

Make It Hackin's public README proposes a two-piece capture ring for the DEF CON 34 badge and says its geometry was derived photogrammetrically rather than from an official DEF CON drawing. The maker's README also asserts that an incorrect orientation could reverse pins and create a short-circuit risk, but this pass did not independently verify that assertion or any physical or electrical effect.

The catalogue records an optional third-party mechanical design without treating it as an official accessory, a fit result, a port-orientation diagnosis, an electrical-safety conclusion, or a finished product. The source does not establish print material, assembly quality, mechanical loads, badge/port clearance, pinout/orientation outcome, safety validation, production, sale, delivery, support, or image reuse rights.

third-party lore, art, attribution, and reuse-rights boundary · source-named creative attribution and project credit · project-level attribution recorded; per-asset publication rights not established

The marketplace credits SCP-1471 to LurkD and links a CC BY-SA 3.0 source; the repository credits HotGlewd and BitAssembly and declares a CC BY-SA 3.0 work license. Those public statements are preserved as provenance, but no reviewed source establishes a cleared original image, the exact license chain for every product/render/diary asset, final third-party-IP treatment, or a local-publication permission basis for badge.gallery.

The catalogue credits named sources without republishing lore artwork, product media, or project images on an assumed license basis.

third-party standalone SAO power companion boundary · first-party maker storefront · pre-event marketplace listing

The caelyb marketplace listing says its USB-C Power Back lets SAOs run without a host badge. It does not say the item mounts to, ships with, has been tested on, or is approved by DEF CON's main badge, and it does not publish a pinout, output-current limit, USB-C or USB-PD behavior, regulator/protection details, electrical-safety certification, or a host test matrix.

The catalogue records a source-backed third-party standalone SAO power/display companion without treating its maker-described 3.3 V conversion or multiple-SAO example as official main-badge support, a universal-compatibility claim, or a safety endorsement.

touch, audio, LED, content, and accessibility boundary · maker wording and public implementation source · intended interaction evidenced; final experience and accessibility unverified

The maker describes face-touch interaction with a cheer track and the code exposes thresholded touch, sampled audio, and LED update logic. Sources do not establish touch sensitivity/calibration across users or environments, sound pressure/volume control, exact final audio content, LED count/color/brightness, latency, continuous-play behavior in shipped units, disability/accessibility accommodations, sensory warnings, language/content rating, audio-rights provenance, or reliability testing.

The catalogue describes the published interaction mechanism without making claims about usability, accessibility, sensory safety, audio licensing, annoyance, final behavior, or suitability in a particular venue.

unlicensed source, fabrication, and media reuse boundary · GitLab project metadata and source review · no detected project license

GitLab reports no detected license for the firmware or hardware project. Public access to C source, KiCad, Gerber, acrylic, CAD, production, sound, and image files does not grant permission to reproduce, modify, fabricate, redistribute, host, or reuse those materials or their media.

The catalogue links the public preservation trail without presenting it as open hardware, free software, a licensed build kit, or a cleared source for images/audio/artwork.

unnamed source, firmware, license, and publishing boundary · repository metadata, root-tree, and one-commit review · repository description and initial source files only; documentation/release/license unrecovered

The repository has no README, formal product title, firmware, build or programming instructions, tag/release, binary, source-to-board map, recovery path, support policy, warranty, root license, or detailed design explanation. GitHub reports no detected repository license. A public handle and an initial commit do not establish a real-world identity, sole authorship, design correctness, permission to reuse code/art/media, or availability of a completed product.

The entry uses a handle-qualified index title and links the raw source while avoiding invented technical behavior, a formal release, a legal reuse grant, or a stronger creator claim than the evidence supports.

unofficial DEF CON affiliation and credential boundary · primary official maker wording · independent DEF CON 34 badge

The official maker page explicitly calls Clip-Boy the unofficial DEF CON 34 electronic badge and offers a DEF CON pickup option. It does not identify the maker as a DEF CON organizer, say Clip-Boy is included with registration, provide access to DEF CON, replace a DEF CON Human badge, or establish official support/endorsement.

The catalogue classifies Clip-Boy as an independent BadgeLife artifact associated with DEF CON 34 rather than an official conference credential or admission substitute.

update lineage and prior-edition boundary · public roster update label and v2 repository name · current update evidenced; prior lineage not reconstructed

The roster calls IFLFU SAO an update to an existing item and the public code repository is named `iflfu-v2-pfc161`, but this pass did not recover a source-backed earlier event edition, older product listing, release date, technical delta, production record, attribution, recipient scope, or compatibility statement. The maker card calls an unlabeled item its original/first OffensiveSAO, but does not print IFLFU.

The record preserves the visible update/v2 trail without inventing a previous event, assigning an exact earlier version, merging unknown revisions, or treating the seller card as standalone proof of historical IFLFU distribution.

v1/v2, form-factor, and Saintcon-lineage boundary · separate product titles and roster wording · separate v2 listing documented; technical distinction and historical link unreported

The maker has separately titled v1 and v2 product pages, but the reviewed product descriptions provide no engineering, physical, or revision explanation distinguishing them. The storefront calls v2 an oversize minibadge or standalone badge, while the roster calls the pair a standalone small badge or Saintcon minibadge. This pass did not recover an exact variant mapping, changelog, SAINTCON event distribution, final configuration, or evidence that all described terms refer to the same production run.

The catalogue keeps v2 distinct because its own listing is distinct while avoiding an invented hardware revision, size, Saintcon history, or universal compatibility claim.

v1/v2, form-factor, and Saintcon-lineage boundary · separate product titles and roster wording · separate v1 listing documented; technical distinction and historical link unreported

The maker has separately titled v1 and v2 product pages, but the reviewed product descriptions provide no engineering, physical, or revision explanation distinguishing them. The storefront calls v1 an oversize minibadge or standalone badge, while the roster calls the pair a standalone small badge or Saintcon minibadge. This pass did not recover an exact variant mapping, changelog, SAINTCON event distribution, final configuration, or evidence that all described terms refer to the same production run.

The catalogue keeps v1 distinct because its own listing is distinct while avoiding an invented hardware revision, size, Saintcon history, or universal compatibility claim.

village fundraiser and DEF CON credential boundary · primary organizer listing · documented independent village offering

The Eventbrite page describes a Blue Team Village fundraiser and in-village pickup. It does not say the artifact is DEF CON's official Human badge, is included with DEF CON registration, grants access, is an admission credential, or has a convention-wide production/allocation status.

The catalogue classifies it as a source-backed Blue Team Village fundraiser artifact rather than a substitute for conference registration or the official DEF CON badge.

wireless, NFC, and lawful-use boundary · source-named Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC surface · no operational or compliance guidance identified

The post names Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 13.56 MHz NFC but does not publish radio configuration, antenna characteristics, NFC interaction design, range, emissions, consent model, data handling, target authorization, access controls, user instructions, regulatory/compliance evidence, safety limits, or venue rules. Its high-level capability wording is not an authorization or instruction to interact with third-party systems or credentials.

Readers can identify the announced wireless/NFC surface without treating the record as a sanctioned operational guide, a privacy guarantee, a compliance claim, or permission to use the badge against systems or media they do not own or control.

wireless-security capability, legal, and authorized-use boundary · official seller disclaimer · high-level feature claims only

The seller frames Clip-Boy as lawful security-research/education hardware, says it ships passive/listen-only, and says users are responsible for applicable computer-misuse, wiretap/interception, and radio/spectrum rules. The source does not give jurisdiction-specific authorization, event/venue permission, operational procedure, testing scope, consent model, privacy/data-retention behavior, accuracy, RF performance, or a guarantee that optional research capabilities are lawful or appropriate in a particular setting.

The catalogue does not provide guidance for active testing, characterize any security feature as safe or legal everywhere, or turn a seller disclaimer into a compliance determination.
