Issues & Camp Impact

NorthSec 2022 Badge note

firmware-source caveat · source-backed but incomplete · documented; monitor newly surfaced 2022 badge archives

The recovered public tree proves hardware, BOM, production, challenge-media, and SAO assets, and the official competition write-up index preserves 2022 CTF writeups, but this pass did not recover a dedicated 2022 badge firmware README, final event guide, badge-specific writeup, or complete challenge source.

The record documents verified hardware and archive surfaces while avoiding unsupported badge-game or firmware-behavior claims.

NorthSec 2022 Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · policy decision · open

No NorthSec 2022 image is published locally because this pass did not verify a specific documentary photo or official raster render with complete source URL, license, attribution, and processing provenance.

The record is source-backed by the hardware archive while staying image-free under the no-generated/no-placeholder image policy.

NorthSec 2022 Badge note

retrospective archive caveat · repository archive backed · documented

The 2022 badge files are recovered through the public 2024 branch rather than a dedicated nsec22 branch, so this record treats the tree as a retrospective hardware archive and keeps event claims anchored to NorthSec's official past-editions page.

The catalogue can seed the badge without implying that every file was published during the original 2022 event window.
