Nuit du Hack 2014 Collector Badge note

limited availability · archived official challenge page · historical

The official challenge described a limited collector badge given out after solving an easy challenge, then used as the entry point to the harder Black Badge challenge.

This was not necessarily a universal attendee badge; the page models it as a collector/challenge object rather than a default registration badge.
