The ICS Village Badge for DEF CON 33 was a FREE-WILi and Intrepid Control Systems sponsored hands-on industrial-control-security badge tool with RP2350A control, ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi, sensors, GUI support, USB API, WASM scripting, and Build-A-Badge customization software.
Lifecycle
The badge documentation identifies I2C expansion configured as DEF CON SAO plus USB terminal access for I2C and SAO sensor interfacing.
The Build-A-Badge software lets users choose images, configure LED patterns, set a badge name, program the device, and upload WASM applications.
FREE-WILi documents the badge around a Raspberry Pi RP2350A controller and ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi interface, with standard USB bootloader update support.
The badge exposes BME688 gas/pressure/humidity/temperature sensing, MQ-3 alcohol sensing, XYZ position, infrared receive/transmit, RTC, buttons, LEDs, speaker, and full-color display for ICS exercises.
Official docs describe FREE-WILi GUI support, ESP32 WebSocket interface, USB serial console API, WASM scripting examples, host Python API, FAT filesystem, and WASM control of device features.
Operational history
Hardware and software claims stay tied to the current public documentation snapshot and should be revisited if FREE-WILi revises the page or publishes design files.
The record now has a rights-cleared official upstream render with source URL, license, attribution, source-original retention, and WebP processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.
The catalogue records public firmware and customization surfaces conservatively while allowing the specifically reviewed Build-A-Badge render to carry explicit MIT provenance.
