Issue dossier
The maker archive calls the artifact a working soil sensor, but it does not publish a deployed-use record, participant count, environmental conditions, calibration result, measurement comparison, challenge or game rules, data retention, participant outcome, prize policy, ongoing service status, or a safe/reproducible operating procedure. No sensing, connection, configuration, or interaction directions are reproduced here.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

PCB design project
Public EasyEDA project file for the source-described Plant Badge. It is linked as design provenance without treating the file as a complete fabrication, sensing, configuration, or safe-assembly procedure.

dated badge sponsor event listing
Punk Security's historical event timeline dates its BSides Newcastle badge-sponsor appearance to October 5, 2024 in Newcastle and says Simon Gurney would present the making of that year's conference badge. It is maker-side event evidence, not an organizer recap, venue record, recipient ledger, or image-rights grant.

native PCB source
Public EAGLE source directory for the Plant Badge. It makes design material available without proving final manufacture, component substitutions, sensing performance, safe modification, or complete physical-unit parity.
Badge: BSides Newcastle 2024 Plant Badge
public Gerber archive
Public Gerber archive for the source-described Plant Badge. It supports the public design trail without proving final manufacture, final board revision, component population, electrical behavior, or a safe build result.

public badge source archive
Punk Security's public repository identifies the Little Shop of Horrors Plant Badge, says it was given out at BSides Newcastle, calls it a working soil sensor, and preserves board, schematic, EasyEDA, Gerber, and firmware material. It is a maker archive, not an organizer-issued allocation, production, safety, or media-rights record.
Badge: BSides Newcastle 2024 Plant Badge
public firmware source
Public Arduino firmware sketch for the source-described Plant Badge. It is linked as source evidence without reproducing sensing, setup, flashing, configuration, modification, or hardware-assembly directions.
