Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026

Name: Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026
Location: St. Laurence’s, TU Dublin Grangegorman Campus, Dublin, Ireland

The completed July 9-10, 2026 inaugural Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge in Dublin. WICC's official site establishes the two-day venue and advanced hardware-security CTF context, while Cyber Ireland's July 17 recap confirms the completed competition. A public maker archive explicitly identifies a WICC 2026 CTF badge, but organizer sources do not name that exact project or establish organizer issuance or attendee-wide distribution.

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge

A public maker archive explicitly titled Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge Badge 2026 links itself to WICC and documents a hackable serial-CLI CTF badge with ESP8266 and ESP32 target trees, challenge activities, a two-part protective case, and a repository photo of a physical cased device. WICC's official site and Cyber Ireland's post-event recap confirm the completed July 9-10 Dublin competition, but neither organizer source names this exact project. TOG separately reports building 15 ESP8266 hardware flags for the same CTF without identifying them as this archive, so this is a maker-documented event-linked electronic badge—not an organizer-issued credential, general attendee badge, or claim of equivalence to the flags.

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge note

hardware configuration and delivery scope gap · primary maker documentation · configuration and allocation not publicly mapped

The maker documentation targets ESP8266 / ESP32 hardware and shows a cased device, but does not map a final board, parts population, power system, radio configuration, firmware build, production run, recipient list, handoff, or attendance eligibility to WICC units.

The catalogue records the documented electronic CTF platform without inventing a universal configuration, quantity, delivery outcome, or attendee credential role.

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge note

maker-to-event association boundary · maker archive plus independent official event sources · maker-declared association; organizer linkage unverified

OzmoOzmo's public README explicitly titles the project Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge Badge 2026 and links WICC, while WICC's official site and Cyber Ireland's recap confirm the event. Neither organizer source names this exact repository, maker, or device as an official WICC artifact.

The record is an event-linked maker badge and must not be read as a WICC organizer-issued credential, sponsor deliverable, official hardware programme, or attendee-wide handout.

Women's International Cybersecurity Challenge 2026 CTF Badge note

separate TOG hardware-flags boundary · first-hand TOG post-event account · distinct projects not equated

TOG reports building fifteen ESP8266 hardware flags in custom cases for the WICC CTF, but its account does not name OzmoOzmo, SecurityConferenceCTFBadge, or the repository's badge photo. Conversely, the maker README thanks TOG hackers and makers for beta testing without identifying TOG's fifteen flags as its own build.

The record preserves related physical-hardware context without merging separate maker provenance, hardware counts, designs, allocations, or authorship into one unsupported badge claim.
