HITCON CMT 2023 NFC Badge

HITCON CMT 2023's official events page says the badge was more than an identification badge: card readers and mini-games were placed at booths and around the venue, attendees used their badges to activate and interact with them, and the Activity Team booth provided NFC card readers for hands-on inspection.

HITCON CMT 2023 NFC Badge note

hardware-detail caveat · source-backed but intentionally narrow · needs public technical archive

The recovered sources document badge mini-game behavior, card readers, NFC-reader inspection, and welcome-kit inclusion, but do not identify an exact chip, NFC tag type, memory layout, schematic, or firmware repository.

The dossier records the verified interaction model while avoiding unsupported component-level or security-primitive claims.

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

No local HITCON CMT 2023 badge image has been added because the recovered official page images have not been paired with explicit reuse rights, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.

The Taiwanese HITCON 2023 entry remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event images or using generated placeholder art.
